Just wondering if all the talk of a ball playing fullback is required when we have 2 ball playing halves next year?
My man of the match yesterday was Dugan with his Kick returns giving our forwards better field position, something that we definitely lose when Nighty is put back there.
Next year with Hunt given free rein to play both sides the final pass can come from either half hitting a running fullback or centre/winger ah la Widdop's cut out balls to Nighty this season.
The loss of what Dugan offers far out ways having only one ball playing half & one running half ( as Benji described himself after he joined the Broncos]
Dugan's catch & pass yesterday should be all that is required from your Fullback if he can return kicks like Graham Eadie, Gary Jack, Minichiello & now Dugan did.
What next year could have been with Dugan hitting the line of Hunt & Widdop we will never know but with Field describing himself as a running 5/8 his speed might just be something to watch, if not Dufty will be just as exciting, they just won't give the same yardage returning the kicks.
