Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 2671711, member: 1769"] Stemming from a discussion over in "Broncos Talk" and given that several players recently have left clubs because in their view they were "stuck" on the wing, as well as some fans saying things like player x is too good to be "sitting" on the wing, I thought i'd ask the big question Has the wing position become under-rated? Players like Josh Hoffman, David Mead, Michael Gordon have left clubs (or at least complained) that they were playing wing and not a more "important" position like fullback. Alex Johnson has also been rumoured to possible leave Souths because he is stuck behind Inglis in the fullback stakes. It seems that players are happy to get their start on the wing, but are eager to move off it ASAP. I've also heard many fans say things like player x is too good to be on the wing. ------ IMO, the wing position is severely under-rated. We've been experiencing it for the last few years, our players doing great lead up work, but having the try blown or stuffed up in some way by the guy on the end of our backline. Having a guy on the flank with speed, athleticism and an uncanny ability to somehow get the ball down over the try line is of vital importance in todays game of rugby league. not only is it exciting for us fans, but probably more importantly, it gets points on the board for the team. so lets hear it ... Has the wing position become under-rated in rugby league? [/QUOTE]
