Message: [QUOTE="Morepudding, post: 3026988, member: 8923"] I think by the end of the season the Milf / Dearden combo will be going well. As much as I didn't like Ben Hunt, he did take a lot of pressure of Milford with kicking and general directing of play. Milford was one of the best players in the comp in 2015, and even in 2016 was very good. I think he can get back to that with a halfback that will help. You need to remember, Milford hasn't had anyone to rely on... Boyd doesn't really help or take any pressure off the play makers, nor does he draw defenders off milford. Similarly Macca doesn't threaten the line much. As most of the time Milford and Nikorima have stuck to one side each, it's very predictable for the defence. If Milford is still struggling with Dearden, and if we change our fullback, then yeah move him on eventually, But I think wait until we actually have a spine to support him. The only spine players who could probably do okay, and only 'okay' with the other 3 members of our spine would be Cam Smith, Cronk and maybe Luke Keary. Any other half / hooker would really struggle I think. I've said it before, for mine, Fullback is the most important position in the modern game. Starts your sets off, last line of defence, helps communicate your defensive line and takes A LOT of pressure off your halves when they are just running near the ball looking for offloads / creating options.
