Message: [QUOTE="Finbar, post: 3642936, member: 9719"] I've got no idea why we even use Deine Mariner for outside back hitups out of yardage, other than the fact we don't have anyone else. He can't run it straight because he will be smashed, so he slides across the field trying to run between two tacklers and still ends up in a dominant tackle. While Oates has lost his pace, you can still see the value of having outside backs that can win a decent play the ball speed coming out of their own end. Walsh is winning quicker play the balls than most of our outside backs. Arthars does a decent job and Cobbo can, but he is prone to fading in and out of games and sometimes his hitups look lazy. Who else do we have though besides these two that can win the ruck out of their own end? Until we get some size and strength in the backs, we need to be telling a second rower and middle to get back quicker for a hitup. Kevvie's decision to focus on speed and agility over size and strength is not the way, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
