Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3216274, member: 1769"] Oates confirms he's making a full time move to the back row [B]quotes from Oates:[/B] “I will be on the edge this year,” said Oates, who mingled with Brisbane supporters at the Broncos’ annual fan day on Saturday. “Unless ‘Kevvie’ flips his mind and throws me out on the wing, I have been training the whole pre-season in the back row and I’m loving it. “It’s been good, I am really happy to get a full couple of months training there and trying to get some reps under my belt in the back row. I have to keep training and get a bit more confidence there. “Fitness will be the biggest challenge, I won’t lie. In the forwards, you are in the washing machine going around and around, working hard in there, you are on the ball a lot more, but I like feeling a bit more involved. “I also need to be communicating with the people inside and outside of me. On the wing you don’t have anyone outside you except the touch judge, so I need to work on communication and back-to-back efforts.” “My hand feels good,” he said. “I trained all week this week and pretty much did the full session (on Friday) and Thursday, so I’m really happy with it. “I will be ready to rock and roll for ‘Lexi’s’ (Glenn’s) testimonial game and hopefully it can be a good one for him.” [/QUOTE]
