Right arm carry = play on Right side (and vice versa)

There have been some pretty silly selections so far this year

Robert Jennings has a right arm carry and a left arm fend. He's been picked at left centre and he comes back inside every time he gets the ball. He does this because he can't fend defenders if he gets on their outside and is easily gobbled up.

Luke Garner plays inside him and has the same problem.

On the other side of the field, Ryan Matterson plays right side and has a left hand carry. Also stupid.

Matterson and Garner should swap sides IMO. Jennings should play on the right side or not at all.

If you want to get a better idea of what I am saying read on

As far as I'm aware, there isnt a true left sided winger anywhere in the club. There is an abundance of short wingers and I do think it won't be long until this gets exploited. High kicks should be in the game plan against us.

Or blokes could learn to fend with the other hand. If rugby players can kick off both feet why can't league players carry and fend with the other hand ???
