I don’t see the reason to rush really until the players are back there’s no need to announce, we know it will be Edwards and he knows it himself it’s just the back room staff and media I guess but there’s no players back anyway so no stress
I will say the media aren’t going to slam Whittaker as a permanent signing while he’s only been here 6 months playing in an out of form team, makes no sense to bash him while he’s down and still here, Iling Junior was probably the best signing outside of travers
But of course they can work, it’s about the space they create such as wilders first year jones was amazing with with crooks and Dijksteel working as a triangle in build up, wingbacks can be effective in helping us have more space in the middle which we’ve been wanting for ages
You can use them in multiple different ways in the same way fullbacks in a 4 can, we like to control the middle so having wingbacks to hold the width could be way better for us in terms of creating space
