Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2506126, member: 2221"] Haha Renegade... We tend to do a bit of that post relocating stuff. Great idea btw Ning, this is definitely worth the discussion! Re Macca. I really like the kid, he has heart and a footy brain to start with, which is a big plus in my book. He unfortunately also lacks speed, which unfortunately cannot be taught, and is an important, if not essential element in a hooker, which is why I would put Wallace there as soon as we have a good pair of halves, which I know... is easier said than done. The only other spot I can see Macca comfortable enough at is at lock. He has the size (might need to bulk up a little) and the tackling technique for it, plus he obviously has ball playing skills to make things interesting. There are a couple of problems with the above: - Parker is the best lock in the competition at the moment, although... maybe he could successfully be moved to the front row? - As said before, there aren't any worthwhile halves in the market, and I don't think Hunt cuts it, so we can't move Wallace either. For now, Macca needs to keep the opposition guessing as to what he's going to do, and he can be pretty good at that when he's on, simply by mixing it up between kicks deep behind the defense, darts from dummy half before passing to a rampaging forward, dummies (but not too many and well timed), grubber kicks at the try line (again, well timed and positioned), and passing to his halves from the fucking ground (that he can train!). I know he is no Cam Smith, who is a master at all of the above, but he can certainly get closer... [/QUOTE]
