Imo mad dog should be put in the centres with tighe to the wing.Did brian smith not see how well macdougall performed in the centres at souths?He is one of the best attacking players in the game why have him standing out on the wing doing nothing.Another thing i dont understand is why have kurt gidley who is up there with simmo and buderus as the knights best defenders at fullback.The amount of defence he does around the halves is enough indication to me that he should atleast be put in the centres aswell.Milton thaiday should also be given a chance to prove himself at the top level.The way he started off last season had everyone talking about him playing origin untill injury robbed him of the chance.And another thing,i am not having a shot at smithy i am just voiceing my thoughts as all supporters do.Cheers.
Nice to have you posting Mal.
Personally I would like to see Doogs in the centres. He would see alot more ball there IMO.
Having said that, I think playing him at winger is not a total loss, his kick-returns are always strong. As is his dummy-half running when the forwards are still getting back onside.
I agree with you about Kidley too. Having that extra defence and experience out wide would help IMO. Thiaday, Hinton, and Polglase have all played FG fullback and each deserves a shot at the #1 in their own right. Just my preference for Kidley in the centres I suppose, I still think Roopy hit the nail on the head. Smith has a plan for using Kidley at Fullback.
