Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2211794, member: 1764"] With all the debate about the abysmal performance of our right side defence, and the constant bagging of Steve Michaels on the left, it's noticeable in any discussions about alternatives that there is, well, no alternative. [b]Right Side[/b] Hodges at right centre is instantly the best option. As lazy as he can be, he's the best reader of defence out there. Folau has proven me right. He's not a centre. He is terrible out there in defence, and in attack he's ineffective. Alex Glenn is a backrower and he got shown up in the centres a few times. Yow Yeh's a winger, end of story. Unless one of the 20s is doing something I'm not aware of, I can't see any decent right centre option until Hodges comes back (for 2 games before he's injured or suspended again no doubt). [b]Left Side[/b] Michaels: plenty said, but I tend to agree with some that he's probably better on the wing. Winterstein: Going great guns on the wing. His combination with Michaels isn't that great, they''ve been caught out quite a few times...would it be better with him in the centres? Doubt it. Folau: see above. He's shit in the centres on his familiar right side....why play him in a position where he's shit on a side of the field he's not used to? Yuck. What other options are there? In fairness to Folau and Yow Yeh, our right side problems aren't just theirs. Locky has been worse than a turnstile, and he gets zero protection from Parker or Te'o, depending who is 4th in at the time. This conundrum is the one Henjak has to solve ASAP...and of course, now he has a week with the baby Broncos, then 1 day with the Origin guys after game 2.... **** I hate the NRL scheduling. **** Origin off to the end of the season FFS!
