Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2671758, member: 8215"] The main reason behind it is because you can hide rookies most easily there. Backline rookies anyway. They need to play the full 80 so a bench spot is not ideal, and on the wing you only need to worry about your opposite number and the sideline. Anywhere else and you have team-mates either side that you need to combine with, or at fullback you have way more responsibility. Also, as long as they are skilled in any way, the wing is good for younger players as they're more likely to be fast, exuberant, and fearless. It's also the perfect master & apprentice situation for upcoming centres etc. All of that means that with a salary cap, teams don't really need to spend to fill the position and can use the cash for more pivotal players. Smart managers will therefore convince their player that they're too skilled for a rookie spot, and encourage them to work towards a supposedly more important spot (that just so happens to bring the manager more commission).
