Message: [QUOTE="HarryAllan7, post: 3300832, member: 9372"] Jack Wighton was a representative player and Dally M and Clive Churchill medal winner @ 6 and aside from the fact that he may have literally a negative IQ, he was also an outside back before transitioning. I think lots of people here equate Isaako @ 6 to Hoffman @ 6 back in the day and automatically shoot it down, but it's not as ridiculous as you'd think. Another Broncos outside back who gets alot of hate around here used to be an absolutely exceptional 5/8 in his junior career - Jordan Kahu... I'm sure not many would have liked to see him in the halves either. 5/8 doesn't need to be a specialist halfback style position... as long as the team is built correctly. A ball playing 9, game manging 7 and playmaking 13 can take care of the kicking / controlling/ 'thinking' aspect and leave the 6 as a ball-running second receiver. Having a strong system where players are well-drilled, know their roles and stick to their tasks in a regimented, congruous way is also very important. Then the 6 doesn't have to be doing anything complicated, just getting early ball and taking on the line. I think both Isaako and Staggs could transition into this style of pivot, but whether they can do it here at the Broncos where we lack the necessary talent in key positions and well-drilled team structure and systems to support the transition is the big question mark. I think Staggs is a better chance than Isaako due to his more robust running style and I'd like to see him given the opportunity. [/QUOTE]
