Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2869817, member: 9008"] No. Macca starts at 9. Bird starts as lock (or vice versa if required). They switch as required in attack. Macca keeps at 9 in defence between 2 props. Let him soak defence and Bird a crack at tired forwards. Both would be extra ball playing forward at lock. With Bird more useful as a running lock. Macca would provide extra kicking and first receiver occasionally. Main issue for me is doesn't solve 2 problems. Maccas slow service and lack of forward push where only have 2 props instead of using lock as third Prop. Especially with Gillo, Glenn and Thaiday in second row not being great meter eaters. Maybe keep Bird on bench for first 20 so TPJ can start at lock then Bird at 9 rest of game and Macca plays till 50 or 60 at lock. TPJ comes back as impact for last 20 or 30. But would bird settle for 9 and only 60 mins a game? Given lack of quality 9s after Cam smith might become Australian 9 in a couple of years. [/QUOTE]
