Because Mary has no idea on our to coach or run a team. The load on our forwards each and every game could never last the season otherwise, all coaches would employ this style of game. To make this style work, I believe you would need 10 forwards outside the 17 who are of first grade standard and equal to the 10 in the top 17. Rotation would be the key to ensure we aren't playing with busted or burnt out forwards.
A B Plan whereby the game plan would be to use the speed and agility of our backs .......... hold on these type of backs are playing U20s.
It seems Millward does not believe we need speedy backs this season or next season. If Nightingale is going to play in first grade in 2018, I'd rather see him at right centre with one of our speedy young juniors wearing the number 5 jumper. As for Macdonald, he needs to step up or get used to playing reserve grade, Mann does a much better job on the left wing.
I would really love to see Dufty given a go at fullback mainly because I want to see how he handles that position in first grade. I seems to be going great in reserve grade, so why not give him the chance to prove himself.
