Joel Reddy to play right-side?

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on March 30, 2011 at 4:17pm

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I can remember Joel Reddy has always been a right-side centre.

Strikes me that it would be strange for him to shift sides and that we actually see him on the right this weekend. I think that move would help Etu as a Joel is obviously much more experienced and a better reader of the play, and on the other side Luke Burt is a very good communicator and Morgan might be a lot better positioned if he has Burty in his ear all night.

It really doesn't make sense to hook up your two inexperienced backs, and I'd be quite surprised if we didn't see that changed when they run out on Saturday night.

No arguments here Phil.
There's no doubt that you want a balance on each side, so shifting both centres will no doubt alleviate any of those defensive inefficiencies that the Eels may have.

i read an article or an interview rather and Luke Burt said that Morgan had a killer right step maybe SK is keeping him on the right side expecting to see it one day.

Joel Reddy has got to play on the right, hey. It's the only move that makes sense.

It could be that Sk wants to play the inexperienced Morgan on his more familiar side. The other thing is Ready is a good defence centre but he can come to close in at times, hence the reason why Grothe would also come in. I saw Grothe going off at him one time for doing this. This isn't to say Grothe wasn't at fault when he would come in, he had a huge habbit of doing this. But maybe SK doesn't want to leave an inexperienced winger in the lurch. Just a couple of thoughts anyway.
