Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3267221, member: 9052"] You can already see it occurring and you are right about the growing importance they will have. You have to have a method or a plan for covering any position that goes down and mainly if a back or a half goes down. I believe broncos have basically been going with a bench of 1x utility, 2x middles and 1x utility forward Ben Teo is what I have been calling a utility forward on the bench. They can play in the middle as a prop or lock, but also fill in on an edge if needed, and he's also popped up in the centers when injuries occur. TPJ covers middle or edge. Riki and Bullemor can cover both roles now as well. Hetherington looks like he basically becomes our Brandon Smith.... and I wonder if Gamble could become a really handy utility on the bench... halves now, but he appears to have the body shape to cover hooker, second row, lock or center. Knights use Watson to cover hooker, halves, fullback and his normal role is ball playing lock off the bench. Whoever is the utility also needs to have a role during a normal game. Can't just carry someone for a token 10mins nowadays. [/QUOTE]
