This is exactly right. I think vasty is taking it as people saying Trout will never be a prop, however people label him as S/R because he isnt ready for that role [uyet.[/u As you say, time will tell.

As I mentioned in another topic where Trouty was discussed, forcing him down the prop role now, because thats all he has ever been will ruin him.

For the meantime, Trout will do very well as WTW Second Row Forward. Come a few years he may develop into WTW Prop Forward.

Good luck to him, because I rate him highly as a player. Lets hope we get to see how far he can develop and is with us for years to come.

Danny Kirmond started out as a winger.

Gareth Ellis was a back before moving into second row.

he was a backrower who moved into the centres/standoff when we were short IIRC, he then reverted to his original position after he left us.

He certainly said that his prefered position was in the 2nd row, even though we played him at centre and he was right, one of the best in the sport.
Never quite forgave him for leaving, but one hell of a player !

Ellis started as a centre I seem to recall when he made his debut at Wakefield.

Not long after I think he moved to Sr and loose.
