Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 3348138, member: 8272"] I don't think Mam is suited to the utility role at all, he is still learning 6. Coming on and trying to get the pace and read of a game would be hard for him and make an impact in what possibly could be a strange position. Most of his games last season where he did well, they involved someone else doing his thinking. In the finals against Townsville, Isaako took over in the second half and freed Mam up. He scored a good try and got Souths back moving forwards but before half time Souths looked gone and Townsville were all over him- down 22-10 but first five minutes after half time with Mam just running on the left- try. Then they scored three in the next 20. Coming on and having to make an impact would be a negative for him I think. In defence and attack you want a clear goal- not well could be defending in the middle, could be on the edge. That role would mean the person next to you changing and really hard to learn. He's only going to learn to close the gap on those skills by doing it in 6 and being in those situations again and having to fix it. Defence is his other issue; against Townsville and Hunters he kept making the same mistake. When Laybutt and Feeney scored he turned in and didn’t get off at all and then repeated it. Two tries through you in a final in 10 minutes is a hard lesson. Who I think will help him more than anyone is Capewell. Capewell is a great explainer to halves on what and why. He will help his defence and his passing and help him understand the why. But for that to work he has to be beside and him and know he's beside him all game. Really good utilities have experience in a variety of roles and settings. If they are a rookie it needs to be in a really really good team where they can carry him- like Lockyer was at first.
