Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3641621, member: 9052"] I can see Mozer getting a spot on the bench and using Smoothy at lock... will just depend if they want 1. Smoothy (start)->Billy->Mozer (Smoothy to lock for a short stint) 2. Billy -> Mozer -> Billy & Smoothy playing only lock I can see Kevvie going with Option 1, but I think that could put too much fatigue into Smoothy and Mozer is likely to only get limited minutes (trying to fit 3 players into 1 position)... so it doesnt seem like great use of the bench... which is compounded by the total lack of players we will have next week. Option 2 sounds better to me, but is a bit harsh to Smoothy who hasn't really been doing anything wrong but gets shafted to the forwards as a tackle bot. However out of the remaining top 30 players I would say Mozer is the current one sitting outside the 17 that you should be comfortable with playing decent minutes in first grade. If Mozer is going well under Option 2 then he can play out the game and Billy could relieve Smoothy later on at lock... I kind of want to see Billy as a ball playing middle, just to see if it works. If it does then we have an option that allows Patty to come off the field. If Jensen gets picked we will have no middles heading into this game to bring off the bench... I think Riki can definitely spend some time in the middle, but it comes down to who plays on his edge and how many minutes can we get out of them. I would say Patston is most likely to come in?? but Oates could also be given a stint there. I think Patston, Piakura and Oates are all more left side dominant though, so moving Riki out means someone is playing uncomfortable and impacts our kick chase. Piakura has spent time on the right for Norths, but he's yet to look comfortable defending on the left to be moving around the field. Oates debut game was on the right second row I believe (did he score a runaway try there??), so he might be able to do a stint there. It will be a very interesting team list Tuesday for the dargs game, but no matter who is playing Kevvie needs to fully utilise all his playing 17. Cant go into the game with all the headliners missing and then basically play 15 with one of those being a hooker off the bench. Needs to have a plan to get the most out of the players he picks [/QUOTE]
