Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3476190, member: 9052"] Yeah I agree... every team has a part timer on the bench to fill in if needed. Even the hookers who pump out big minutes have a backup on the bench... Cook has Havili, Harry had BSmith (will be interesting who they go with this year). On your last point I wonder if Paix could end up being that roving small forward in a few years?? We have Kobe at the moment who might fill that role, but he's not yet been thrown into the hooking duties... also at the moment we need a backup hooker who can cover 40mins with the current rotation, which is not Kobe's role. Mozer may end up being a hooker we want on the field for 50-60mins, which leaves 20mins to fill from the bench... that could be Kobe in a couple years... or maybe Paix To me he looked stockier in the trials this year and he's a former halfback which adds a ball playing option through the middle... it would possibly be at the detriment of his speed, but it would also increase his longevity and flexibility in the gameplan. His profile has him at 89kg and 178cm... but BSmith is 94kg and 180cm... so not a huge jump to get to a possible body shape for that kind of role. He's definitely not there at the moment, but might be something they work towards moving forward, pending how Mozer develops. [/QUOTE]
