Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2656397, member: 8215"] I get that part, but I'm trying to think of an unobtrusive way for Reed to be back there for the high balls. He's safer than Copley, that's for sure, unless Bennett is willing to risk Copley being peppered just so he can get game-experience. But that wouldn't make sense, seeing as Bennett also sees him as a future centre anyway. Simply having Reed drop back on the 5th exposes the team to potential 4th tackle high balls, especially if Copley gets isolated and they're on our line anyway (so no ground-making advantage to one more set). But in any case, I like to think of the centre & wing pairing as a unit, the same way you can extend that unit to a full side (like the classic Lockyer - Thaiday - Hodges - JYY with the fullback chiming in). So in that case, I wouldn't be surprised to see a tactic that isn't just black & white, Copley attack centre, defend wing. The same as I don't think Hodges will attack at fullback every time we're in the opposition half. I suspect it'll be more fluid, and they'll adjust their formation to whatever Souths throw at them.
