Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3096878, member: 9052"] Not to mention for both of those fullbacks ball playing wasn't a huge component of their game. A fullback nowadays doesn't need to be someone who can fire a 30m cutout ball like Lockyer anymore. The game went that way when WB had Lockyer straight into Hunt, then into Boyd at dragons. It seems like the game is needing a fullback that has enough to be able to finish a sweep play, but truly it is up to the inside guys to spot when and where the sweep play is on and the fullback being in position to finish it off. Having a fullback that can utilise other positions of the field opens up a new aspect to your offence and I think coaches are starting to move in that direction. I didn't think much of Flannigan as a coach, but he sure as shit figured out a way to utilise Val's running game in 2018 to propel him to the top of the fullback tree. We just need a fullback that can support through the middle and finish off an easy 3 on 2 and knows when it's not on so he doesnt throw an intercept. I think Isaako ticks the ability to support through the middle and he has enough work ethic to be coached how to finish a sweep play.... will he turn into a ball playing 1 that will overcall the halves and set up a short side play?? Probably not, but we have Milf and Croft that can hopefully do that... not to mention Fifi and TPJ that can create something from nothing [/QUOTE]
