Message: [QUOTE="mitch222, post: 3096323, member: 8605"] Isaako at fullback really only works if we play to his strengths. The biggest strengths of Isaako are his running game and elusiveness. He wont be able to pick passes like Boyd and the short kicking game wont be as good. Now here in will lie the problem. For many years since really Lockyer was fullback, we have always relied on our fullback to be like another 5/8 in attack. Bennett run teams loved this in Lockyer, Hunt & Boyd because they were a massive link in the attack. Isaako I don't think can offer this so we need to change the attack around a lot more. We need our halves linking more in plays on both sides of the field and we need to find another ball player to compliment the halves (maybe a lock). Isaako should really try to model his fullback game on RTS to begin with straight running and looking for holes in attack. If he can develop a pattern for reading overlaps and a pass to go with it he can be an elite fullback. But if he nails down the fullback spot on round 1, we cant play like we have in attack for the last 15 years because it simply wont work with the skillset Isaako possesses currently at fullback.
