Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 3427381, member: 8440"] Yes, Peachey is a good example. So is Connor Watson. The idea probably isn't to use Niu as an extra forward, but more so as an extra fullback. So we get all of his attacking football, but none of his defensive issues at fullback. Plus bringing a fresh, explosive Niu off the bench up against fatiguing forwards would be a good way to put teams to the sword. I think with our forward rotation, we can cover and compensate for not having an extra big man off the bench. I just like the idea of having Reynolds, Mam, Walsh, Niu, and Paix/Walters all interlinking with each other on all sides of the field. Or even having them stand either side of the ruck. Usually fullbacks defend by tracking their opposition fullbacks movements. Well who do you track if they are split either side of the ruck. It might be a clever way to catch opposition fullbacks out of position on kicks. But yes, either Billy or Paix will have to be an 80 minute player. But they will be able to get breaks within the game itself with Niu jumping in at dummy half, particularly off a quick play the ball. I don't see why either of them couldn't handle 80 minutes.
