Backline Re-shuffle

Now that Hoffman is expected to be side-lined for a few weeks and norman seeking a return i think that french should be moved to the wing to accommodate gutho at fullback. gutho is wasted on the wing whereas french is not. guthos support play in the middle and runs out of dummy half are crucial to getting our team on the front foot which i dont see him doing on the wing. french is in my opinion not big enough for fullback yet but normans grubbers to french are brilliant because french will always get there because of his speed on the wing. i believe this weeks back line against cowboys should look like this.1. gutho2. semi3. taka4. auvaa5. french6. norman7. moses

  • I agree that yours should be the backline however I have a feeling BA will choose something like this this:

    1. French

    2. Semi

    3. Taka

    4. Gutho

    5. Auvaa/ Davis (If Auvaa is injured)

    6. Norman

    7. Moses

    • I think you've nailed the backline, Seamus.
  • Regardless of what number he wears Guthos role in attack at least will pretty much stay the same.

    Defensively i would like to see him line up at centre to help out the Moses side of the field
  • I reckon Guth will be named on the wing.

    French

    Semi

    Taka

    Auvuaa

    Gush

    Normz

    Moses

    The logic will be that it is the least disruption to the backline. Gush will do heaps from the wing, including plenty of dummy half runs. He may chop and change a bit with French and/or Auvuaa during the game as well.

    • Gushing for Guth?
  • French too small at the moment to tackle one on one.

    Still remember fear holding him vack by not attacking the ball against the Raiders to let soliola beat him to the ball.

    He will eventually add bulk to his upper body to contend with this problem, but not at the moment.
    • Also remember he's not long back from injury is probably still recovering
    • If French is too Small for fullback there is no way defensively you can stick him on the wing.

  • Can't be any other seven players
  • i dont think you just push auvaa out to wing for one week just to suit the team better put gutho out the back and french on the wing untill hoff is back then french to the back gutho to centres
