Well its basic Wing play to me

I want King on the wing. Preferably with another wing and a fuselage attached with the words 'Qantas' on the side.

So which one is better - Penny actually making a tackle, albeit sometimes going over the tryline with his opposite number or allowing him to get an offload away - or King, looking totally lost and not laying a finger on anyone?

I just think if you lpay on the wing you should stay on the wing. If matt king did that he wouldnt let anyone through

Jesus wept.

And if Penny did that they would waltz through the 10 metre gap between him and the rest of the defence (King mainly).

I think people need to look a bit further than just King or Penny for the weaknesses on that left hand side. Anderson and Monaghan to be exact.

Everyone is always saying how good our right side is. Well look at the people out there, Hicks, Gleeson, Westwood, Briers. 3 out of 4 of them barely set a foot wrong, ever, yet on the left hand side...

The whole left side needs a shake up, not just the centre and wing

Play what you see. All about making the right decision which many of our players seemingly can't.

Its man marking. You stay 1 foot outside the opposite Winger. Then you aint gonna get caught out. If everyone marked their man there would be no 10 metre gap

In fact this forum Makes me laugh.
Lay off Penny , Lay off Penny. Hes young, Hes Learning.
When are people gonna wake up and realize the Lowes knows better than you keyboard Rugby players and stop being so sentimental?

Make your mind up, you previously said "I just think if you lpay on the wing you should stay on the wing."

But what is Penny supposed to do if three defenders inside him haven't done their job? Just become the scapegoat like he has done.

Crikey, you are even taling to yourself now.

I think you'll find I said keep a foot outside the winger. He aint a scapegoat Just not a good player. wake up

I love watching the game, but have never played it and I confess to knowing very little when it comes to defensive tactics and such.

Are there effectively two different defensive styles - sliding (which would equate to zonal marking in football) and man to man (equates to man to man in football)?

If this is the case, and if we play a sliding defence then is there room to have a wing playing man to man outside of the sliding defence (a bit like you can play zonal in football, but still have one or two players playing man to man too)?

I don't get this rational that it's either one thing or the other, it can be both and it is. The defence inside of penny is shocking and penny is a poor one on one tackler.
