Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3561548, member: 9052"] Sharks' middles just don't look up to scratch to me. Last year Fitz built his yardage from rolling straight through the ruck with finding your front, quick ptb's and keeping the roll for the next guy... It was basically the same mould as Robinson at rorters and Bellamy at storm. That style worked wonders in 2020 and 2021, but is falling a way at the moment as teams are getting fitter and able to have big bodies keep up with the six again era. McInness was the epitome of this style for him, but was most effective as first change off the bench. I don't think McIness necessarily works as a starting lock for that style. He's not really bringing ball playing and his runs are less effective when he has to start against fresh forwards. Long minutes can also mean he becomes a tackle bot. Fitz seems to be taking a bet each way with his lock... he's got: - Finucane (basically a third prop... just move him to 10 already) - McInness (smaller middle with quick feet and quick ptb's... 2020/21/22 style but still effective) - Graham (was bringing him off the bench last year to act as a ball playing lock, but it's a completely different style to everything else he does) [/QUOTE]
