I very much doubt he would have been signed to play halfback anyway. Even before he left, he was a stepper, but never an organiser. I suspect he was bracketed as a halfback because of his size more than anything else!

I would agree with you on this.

 

however not every team seems to look for 2 halfbacks as organisers - a lot of RL teams also go with a halfback who is a specialist at 'backing up'/support play - ie getting on the shoulder of someone who makes a break.  Burrow and R Myler are good examples of this.

I was sorry when he left for union.  I saw a bright future with a England half back pairing of Tomkins and Eastmond.  It is too late now and that is a shame, it does not make my opinion of rugby league or anyone in it worse for writing that.
