I think Field is someone they will manage very carefully and not want to take any risks with. We've seen at the start of the season that he's been a much more dangerous running threat than last season when he was obviously managing his hamstring.
Watching the documentary on last season Field was almost always in the background on the bike which I guess was all about keeping the muscles warmed up. I'd rather they keep him off longer so he's close to 100% than operating around 60-70 even though he was still an excellent link player.
The problem is that he is a marquee player and we need to get full value out of him.
I thought our three Marquee players were French, Thompson and Farrell. Being Non Federation Trained, Fed trained and Club Trained. Is our Non Fed Field and not French?
