"Who has seen Foran play half back at any club level?"
No one obviously. But at least we (I) know that he can handle the NRL and has solid defence. We've already had the debate regarding the 5/8 vs Halfback positional speciality, I don't think there is a significant enough difference to rule Foran out of the position (especially if our style is adjusted somewhat to account for the "loss" of Orford).
And Jatz, there has been plenty of effusive comments about Hodkinson. I'm all for seeing how he handles the trials (the value of which is debatable) and reassessing then, but at this point in time he's not the best option IMO.
