Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3476239, member: 1899"] I feel like the lock forward has reverted to the mid-00s era where players like Halatau and Jensen were in vogue. Now there's room for players like Hetherington, Cotter, McInness, Smith to play tight and attack that middle third causing the defence to jam in. I actually think Mateo came up in the right era but he just never had the stability around him to make the most of his talent. You compare him to a similar player like John Sutton and the major difference between the two is that Sutton was at Souths when they got their act together. I think the third prop became the meta around the mid-10s with Parker, Gallen, Taumalolo, Klemmer, Finucane, Merrin etc. The role changed when players like Murray and Radley began to emerge. Both Canberra and Melbourne also found some success when they moved Havili and B. Smith from dummy half to lock forwards as well. [/QUOTE]
