Quote: Smiffy27 "Just to move the conversation a bit ... I reckon most of our backs would do a more that adequate job at loose forward. We often ask them to carry the ball up in heavy traffic especially for two or three plays after retrieving kicks and they seem to do very well at it. The toughness of our backs is one of our real strengths. GOB in for me and it strengthens ... not weakens ... the team.'"
I understand your angle but cannot agree. The attacking option is fair to say they can do as you point out it is the defence where things become unstuck. Your asking smaller men to put in a shift where they will constantly face bigger men.
I think that is half Grix's problem.
