Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2872115, member: 8988"] Wouldn't be against that but we'd definitely need someone to shoulder the work of moga in the starting rucks. I can't see Pearson, kahu, mead, Boyd managing it anywhere near as good. Boyd can manage a good run, but is injury prone, as is kahu. Pearson lacks the physique or attitude at the moment, but that may change. Roberts is surprisingly good in those early hit ups, when he is in form and in the game (a shame its not as often as we'd like). Perhaps Pearson could learn from him or watch Hancock's runs on tape. He seemed a lot better at hit ups when he first started. As much as its not integral to a winger or centre's role, like goal kicking its a vital job for someone,who like Oates does, gets some forward momentum early, or like Hancock did (or roberts does) just puts the defence off their game, with a probing run. I'd prefer whoever ends up in the role, has the capacity to last the game without injury, and does not get bullied into slow play-the-balls. [/QUOTE]
