Struggled to find consistency

Went to HB for a couple of seasons and settled

then moved to the Midfield (pinch hitting forward)

Ended up back across HB in a QB role

However, Josh is not in that class
I was thinking if BJ when thinking about the question of what is his position, obviously Battle is as naturally talented as BJ was but it was more a musing about is that Battles postion, is he the Mr Fix It that teams can bennift from when a coach is missing a key player through injury or the coach needs to make position changes in a game when a key player is being badly beaten.

As I say Battle isn't as talented as you would like but is his strength being a jack of all trades but master at none because it's pretty handy from a coaches perspective to have a player that has learnt how to play several roles on the ground.

Can anyone think of players from other clubs who played that Mr Fix It role? Did Clarko have a Mr Fix it? Where has Ratts got this idea from?
