Is Tom's best position fullback?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I can recall Tom playing centre a couple of seasons ago and did pretty well in that position. What would happen if Tom went to centre and Walker went to fb?

I think his best position, much like Inglis, is probably centre. But it's not a popular opinion and I'm not sure who'd take his spot at fullback anyway.

Tom has just been reading too much of his own press.

I don’t think that his issue is that he is resting on his laurels, in fact I think the problem may be the opposite - he is trying too hard to live up to expectations. Needs to just simplify his game and improve his defensive positioning (if he is able to in TBs system)

I mentioned Tom to centre alot over the last couple of years and pretty much got shot down . I still think its his position.
Iv been a fan of Tom since day one, but the more I see the more he looks like a centre to me. And a good one.
We have a fair few backs off contract, id be purchasing a fb and shifting him.
Tom would run out wearing the jersey with No 3 on it and Walker the No 1.

Here we go. May as well put my bit in. I had a bad feelng about this game. Firstly Wests have two fine halves, we have one. Makes a big difference. I wonder if the DCE/Hastings issue disrupted their focus. We certainnly could have used Hastings out there. I'm not so against Tom T at centre but the only full back I could think to do a reasonable job would be Anderson. I'm also wondering whether Kelly should move closer to the action. He's got the moves to be a 5/8 and would reduce his need to rush at the defence and likely miss his target. He defends well close in but seems a little uncertain when the other player has space. And his style of play is more suited I believe to 5/8 play. Knows how to set players up, which we desperately need close in.

I would like to see him do that on the field to all of his teammates. Especially a certain winger.

He has to try low percentage plays because what else have they got?
The service from dummy half is as slow as a wet week. The million dollar man goes missing all too often. It’s left to TT to pull something from nothing. When it works it looks great, when it doesn’t it looks horrid.
