Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2665633, member: 1847"] Copley's footwork at centre is seriously good, and he is quick enough to cause damage, but then I think the same of Kahu. For mine, even though it's a waste of his talents, Kahu should play wing - he is good under the high ball - much better than Copley, and I suppose he could work with Boyd from the back. Some of Copley's tries last year showed superb stepping and swerving. Like Kahu, he is wasted on the wing. When Hodges is out temporarily or permanently, I'd move Kahu to centres and Reed to wing. I thought Reed was very good on the wing last year and combined really well with our left (I think) side edge runners and he can catch and bat high balls. I also want him out of the centres anyway, but I do honestly think he is a good winger on last year's limited showing. Reed's instincts in defence at centre have slowed right down. Reed against Jennings as one example, I shudder. On the wing, he would have to cover less space and he can tackle very effectively. In fact, I'd move Reed to the wing now and replace him with Copley. I'd have Reed over Maranta on the wing. I would be less unhappy with Boyd at FB if he had a combination with Kahu. I feel really sad if there's a chance we will lose kahu to another club. I also hope Bennett gives Boyd time on the wing to ease back into the top level, and work with Kahu. [/QUOTE]
