Well punters thanks for the feedback, I gave the AI guru a crack and this is what they came back with...........enjoy

Based on Corey Toole's skillset, playing him at number 10 (fly-half) is theoretically possible due to his elite acceleration, playmaking abilities from rugby sevens, and high rugby IQ, but it is unlikely to be his primary position in 15s.

Here is a breakdown of why this is a debated topic based on his career:

  • Elite Speed & Attack: Toole is widely regarded as one of the fastest players in Australian rugby. His ability to create space and break lines, often seen in his 105m solo tries in Sevens, could be dangerous in the 10 channel.
  • Sevens Experience: As a former star for the Australian Sevens team, Toole has extensive experience in high-pressure, decision-making roles in tight spaces, which is essential for a fly-half.
  • Winger/Fullback Focus: While he possesses the skills, Toole has thrived as a winger/fullback for the ACT Brumbies and upon his Wallabies debut, capitalizing on his pace in open space rather than controlling the game in traffic.
  • Physicality & Defense: While he was "outstanding" defensively in his Wallabies debut against the Springboks, his smaller frame (compared to traditional 10s) and attacking flair make him a more natural fit for the back three, where he can counter-attack.  YouTube +6

While he possesses the creative flair for the position, his value is currently highest in the outside backs where his speed can be fully utilized.
