Quote SmokeyTA="SmokeyTA"I certainly agree with regards to defence, but from the other side of it, we could realistically be playing him behind a pack of Graham G Burgess, Westwood, Hock, S Burgess, which by any measure is a very very big strong pack. We could even look at having Burrow defend next to Ablett and O’loughlin two very good defenders (Ablett as centre, push O’loughlin to 2nd row). I wouldn’t want Burrow out their for 80mins but Roby is a defensive machine, we have a huge pack, we should be able to create a combination where for 30mins a game we can cover Burrow’s defensive work.'"
We always seem to think our pack can contain the threats, but we still seem to get cut to ribbons on the fringes first, then lose the middle once our heads go down. Then again, there's no rule that says he has to stay out if he becomes a problem when we're on the back foot, Roby is a machine and would be no problem coming straight back on.
Tough decision, definitely no clear answer anyway.
