We can have the best righthand attack in the game!

Posted by ┌∩┐Parody┌∩┐ on May 22, 2013 at 8:40pm

I personally believe we have the players in the 2013 squad to have the most lethal righthand attack in the game. We have genuine players with their own talents, but i think we are not putting them in the positions that can mostly benefit the team.

Jacob Loko ~ Strength, Power and Offloads.

moves from left center to right edge 2nd row

Kelepi Tanganoa ~ Acceleration, Speed, Power and Endurance.

moves from 2nd row to right center

Ryan Morgan ~ Acceleration, Speed, Agility and Endurance.

moves from right center to right winger

Jarryd Hayne ~ Acceleration, Speed, Agility, Power and Endurance.

stays at fullback

Chris Sandow ~ Acceleration, Speed, Agility and Endurance.

stays at halfback

This is the combination that compliments each players attributes the best.

Here is a little video i have quickly made up to better explain what i think our right hand attack can be.

  Morgan has mostly played "right" center to the best of my knowledge and i would not under value the prospect of having a good skillful player on the wing.
  
  I know Loko feels comfortable as left center, but you need a strike weapon like Kelepi. Loko is pretty much is like T-rex, T-rex has his bump, Loko has his fend, the problem with both of them is they break a tackle then take too long to get up to speed again.
  
  They are great for sending in and breaking up the defence pattern and if they offload, guys like Hayne and Sandow get a crack at a recovering line, which is gold. If Kelepi busts tackle he is off and gone in a blink, he has a great left hand fend too, playing out wide Kelepi would be to hard to handle.

I'm convinced. Having played against kelepi for all of my junior footy I did notice his dominance on that right edge, and his stiff left arm, but he did dominate on the left edge too for the last couple years played, he has also been thrown back and forth from back row to centre so I think he can make the transition. With loko I think everybody agrees with the switch to back row, just don't know how he'll go as he's always played left edge has a stiff right arm but could be trained to suit the possy. Not sure about morgs but it could work, not ruling it out, I like it.

Not sure about switching Loko and Tanginoa entirely, but that doesn't rule out switching the lines that they run in attack.

Lussick, Sandow, Tanginoa, Hayne, Loko, Morgan does round out a pretty scary flank.

While people may question whether Morgan will be happy to play wing, have a think about St George, where Morris is a force on the wing, and plays himself into Origin and International contention.

  I think with Loko being a left center with the right foot step and right hand fend he could look at Luke Lewis as an example as right edge back rower. He starts some of his lines out wide holding hands with his center, then angles back towards the ruck and stepping inside off his right foot against the grain.
  
  Loko is so strong 1 on 1 he is bound to get opposition centers creeping in to help bring him down. A simple cut out pass will give you space simply because Loko has drawn defenders in by running a line.
