Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3685449, member: 9052"] Yeah that decision making and potentially overplaying his hand is what would have me worried about him being a ball playing 13 in the middle... and like you say Yeo and Patty represent a running threat rather than pure link play. I think for it to work with Billy you would need to have middles supporting as a tip on to give him an option other than pass out the back or show and go, but that is more effort required from our middles then. I think depending on his fatigue level he could find opportunities to show and go through the middle to keep them honest, but he'd need to be fit as **** to defend and be out there long enough to spot and exploit tiring defenders. At the moment Patty probably needs a 20min break at some point in the game, so my thinking is starting 9 for 20-30, then Mozer comes on to play out the game. At some point maybe around 50mins or so Patty comes off with Billy / Smoothy to 13 for 15-20mins and provide pure ball playing through the middle. Not saying it will happen just wondering if there are opportunities on how to utilise that second hooker if we're planning to pump more minutes into Mozer and then which hooker is best placed to provide that. At the moment I'd have Billy and Smoothy as offering more versatility compared to Paix who I think is a pure hooker. [/QUOTE]
