When did Lane play in the middle?

From memory he may have spent 10 minutes in 1 or 2 games in the middle. A very insignificant time considering how long he spent on the edge.

Also we needed players in the middle last season as we were short hence some of our edge players playing a small part in the middle, in this upcoming season we need edge forwards so I doubt we'll see our edges playing in the middle unless necessary.

Takairangi didn't play in the middle either so I don't see why Matterson would play there.

Assuming Lane and Matterson were our starting edge forwards, when Takairangi came into the field Lane would go to the middle. Matterson would stay on his edge.
Did Taka play edge last season? I think there is a reason Taka wouldnt fill in in the middle. Has he even been re signed?

That’s what I figured.
So when it’s said that Lane spent “plenty of time in the middle and he will likely end up there” it’s just a bunch of random bullshit.

Cheers.

Why would you waste Lane in the middle?
Out wide if can isolate him one on one he most likely creates something. Close to the line outside he is as dangerous as any wide player. He would only move if we had 2 better options that couldn't leave out.

Like Poo said his time in the middle was generally in defence. Yep. Better middles and its pretty unlikely hed spend as much time there. RCG will help but I reckon Kane may slip again. Fingers crossed our good kids, Oregan and Stefano come through.

So I know which players are backups and which are depth but you know how much every merkin will be earning? We should start a podcast together. You can be the angry one.
'Rough guess' means I know now does it?

I only get angry when people misquote me with some agenda in mind, but if that keeps them happy so be it. I'm here to talk about football and don't have any agenda. I'll leave that to the dick head trolls who have a go at everyone on social media, they need to grow up and start enjoying life, for you never know when you'll start the looooong sleep.
