Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2919657, member: 8215"] The point stands, if Bird takes McGuire’s spot, who does his 15 runs and 35 tackles? Even if McGuire goes to prop, that means Bird has to do the work of whichever prop gets displaced. Just about every team has a lock that is either a workhorse, or a damaging impact player, and there is a reason for that. The work needs to get split between 6 forwards, you reduce that to 5 and they then have to do 15-20% extra work to compensate. And it’ll be compounded if Oates moves to the forwards (or leaves) and we don’t have a back like Moga making the bustling kick returns. Just think that Jack Bird is like a knife, and a very sharp one, why blunt him and try to turn him in to a hammer. [/QUOTE]
