Because of the amount of young talent around at fullback right now in the NRL with guys like Tedesco and Dugan, when Tom gets to play rep footy, like a lot of other quality fullbacks before him I think with his speed he is going to spend most of his time there on the wing or in the centres.
No shame in it. The list of fullbacks who played mostly centre or wing in rep sides is long and distinguished. Guys like Dale Shearer, Andrew Ettingshausen, Jarryd Hayne, Greg 1nglis, Darius Boyd etc etc were all who's best position was probably at the back but for one reason or another were or have been mostly considered three-quarters in rep footy. I think Tom will be one of those type of fullbacks.
For Manly though I think he will be a great fullback in time, but he still has a bit to learn about positioning and organising etc.
