Yep. You need your depth players to be versatile. Its why Russel is so valuable right now. It really helps in building a strong and well rounded top 30. One thing about Havilii, as a middle he has a well known trait off always finding his front when being tackled. He very rarley gets put on his back.

Could be worse he could be 33
Bloody rubbish signing if true
