    2 good game's at wing back / full back, very Eadonesque going forward.

    Anyone else think Flicker has maybe stumbled upon his most effective position?

    Jim's too much of a hippy for full back.

    He's been surprisingly good defensively - a bit like Etuhu, seemed to do well in a tackle and was composed with the ball. Not sure he has the pace or the strength though, if that doesn't sound too daft?

    Not for me Scanell ripped him a new 1 almost every time IMO

    He once played full back in Scotland so the position isn't alien to him.

    He is so enthusiastic I think he would play any where he is asked to get a game.

    Have to disagree. Scanell okay first 10 mins. Robins happy to take him off when it mattered.

    Thought he impressed on Saturday. Again, he got done by his winger early on, but then had him locked down. I think Dawson helped.

    Got to agree, I thought Jimbo had a really good game on Saturday.
