Widdop to Fullback Field to 5/8 in 2019?

[Saints Forever]

Given the fact that Widdop is likely to leave at the end of 2019, it is time to give Field a fair go at 5/8.

To me, that means playing Field for 6-8 consecutive games as our 5/8.

If Field performs we are sweet. If he doesn't impress, then there is no need to offer him a contract for 2020.

Dufty could spend 6-8 weeks cooling his heels in ISP honing his skills in preparation for FG.

Neither should be asked to play the super sub role off the bench.

We need to play 4 bench forwards rotating Leilua/Host/Robson/Lawrie. If Mary manages the forwards properly, he can make the top 4.

Good idea, when Field fails to fire Mary's future will be finished.
I like your idea.

2 edge forwards on the bench, one middle, and move our international 5/8 and captain to fullback.

Mary gets a hard time on these forums for his coaching, but sometimes in comparison to the ideas thrown around on here, he looks like a deadset genius.

Somehow I feel misquoted. I didn't suggest the bench consist of those players. What I meant was they should be in the pool of forwards rotated on to the bench.

And yet again you attack a fellow forum member. Good one. Impressive.

In fairness, you started a new thread spouting your ideas..

Strange thing to do if you didn’t want feedback or discussion on said ideas..

My apologies. You were indeed misquoted.

*edit. I stand by my words on widdop to fullback. I want to win the comp next year, whether widdop is leaving or not.

Thanks. I try.

Yeah as supporters we all want our team to win the comp.

Hopefully the rest of the squad is more committed to our club than our captain, otherwise, we will not make the 8.

He is no captain
Hardly a 5/8 either

Oh man. This burns you doesn't it?

Feedback is different from attacking someone
You surely understand that

Trouble is mate, in 2019, Dufty will be a better FB than Widdop

Obviously, it’s me who burns into you,
Waiting for my every post
Good boy

He wasn’t attacking the person, he was attacking the idea that was floated..

Have another read of it...

Not gonna lie, from 6.30 tonight I kept more than a casual eye on the forum waiting to see when you'd show up.

You didn't disappoint.

Edit* ironically, the post that you responded to with this comment was a conversation between me and another forum member.

Fetch boy, get the stick.

Field cannot tackle full stop.

Field cannot tackle full stop.

Evidently according to some when you have speed to burn you don't have to tackle.

 

[watatank]

If Field is a first grader he should be able to contribute from fullback.
