Message: [QUOTE="Mustafur, post: 3596151, member: 10189"] The big difference is when you go for the harder working outside backs they tend to lack in attack sharpness because they lack ball skills and other skills(they are not exclusive to each other but if you have a player who does both they will be a very expensive Joey Manu type player), they didn't have a single player in their backs like Staggs or Cobbo in that regard(outside Crichton), combine that with Walsh and you got alot more attack ammunition, but in a back and forth tug of war we will lose. This will not take away from Haas or Carrigan imo, it will allow them to have more punch in their runs as they can reduce a few hitups in response for the time on the field(and therefore longer mins too). We definitely need Cobbo to get his work rate back to how it was at Wing at the bare minimum to get us somewhere near where we were last year, imo Oates has to be back in the team too, if he can get near what he was doing in 2022 he will be crucial for us. Just to note, last year Herbie was often doing the most runs in the team, and in 2022 it was Often Oates, that's what we need to see from our backs and they need to be punching the line too, I wouldn't expect that from Arthars and Mariner atm at least with how their builds are, but Oates and Cobbo are definitely capable of this, they have shown it before and have the bigger body for it.
