Message: [QUOTE="talanoa, post: 2826477, member: 8530"] i was referring to the back row, and yes a lot of players fit that robot mould -being what ever background. gordy, gillett and sam are the total opposite. they are footballers. which in my opinion is why they have been so successful and have had such long distinguished careers. the issue now starts at a youth level and especially with the polynesian boys coming through. big strong kids at an early age. a lot of these kids are told by their coach to sit in their left or right edge corridor of 4 metres, run the same line and tackle in the defined space. which is sad if thats how junior level will continue to develop. i look at alex glenn, typical example of the robot style player. great physique, and decent ability. but when he was specific back row he never left his corridor. taumalolo is another, incredible athlete but was a hit and miss on the edge. he never left that corridor. since green wedged him in the middle its been a masterstroke.
