Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2919686, member: 8215"] I disagree that he'll be as effective as you think he'll be after making 25 - 35 tackles as well as the constant up & back that he'll have to do on every defensive play. But even dismissing that aspect, who takes the runs that a lock would normally take but Bird won't? It's not as simple as "we'll just play a different style". The opposition won't be changing their style if it means their 6 forwards versus out 5 gives them a massive advantage up front, they'll be piling on the metres, our pack will be fatigued from all the extra work, and Bird won't even have a chance to employ this supposed "different style". He'll be coughing his guts up behind the in-goal. [/QUOTE]
