Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2170261, member: 1808"] His workrate has increased since moving from fullback and given his profile in the game and the importance he plays in every side he plays for its not surprising his not amongst the best defenders in the game but his still not as bad as you make him out to be and nor does he consistenly miss and fall off a lot of tackles, it's not surprising theres a difference between his defence at fullback and at 5/8th. They both require different things from the defender and when you have spent the majority of your career playing in one position your bound to have issues making the transition to the other, you can't expect it not happen especially not at the backend of your career. Regardless Lockyer has made the change for the side's needs and the side has benefited far more in recent times from that then they did having him at fullback in seasons prior to that (when they struggled in the halves for utter direction, everyone on the forum was screaming for him to be moved). Frankly I would rather he concentrate on his leadership, attack and what he really brings to the side that we so desperately need and will miss when his gone, then an issue that is being exaggerated.
