[QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 2919685, member: 8814"] We can't choose who tackles and runs less? Then why aren't players like ash Taylor, nikorima and Thurston the top tacklers in their team? And we can choose who runs less, we just don't pass them the ball. There's more to defensive structure then standing in a line and saying you "stand here" in the nrl. Certain players will get involved at certain stages throughout the tackle and will play a certain role in it (eg twist onto back, wrap up ball, take the legs, roll off last, rush up, hold back, etc) and certain players will be positioned in certain areas in relation to the play the ball (not just middle, left and right). This is why the same players make the most and least tackles every game. By the end of the season If McGuire moves to prop and lodge to the bench the workload of lodge starting compared to bird starting would be easily spread out (defensively bird would be able to match lodge statistically, he would maybe make 1 o runs 2 less runs, plus lodge would be coming off the bench anyway) After watching the game tonight I am coming to like the idea of bird at lock. We aren't going to beat the storm or cowboys to a premiership at their own game. They have the best big men in the game. Last week we exposed them with sharp lines and late footwork in the middle. IF, and that is a big if for a reason, TPJ or lodge can withhold an onslaught of the power game those teams bring, along with our bench rotation props, then we can expose them with inside balls, line running, late footwork, ball playing-something bird can bring, on top of energy and aggressive line speed or finishing to tackles. I would love if we beat the cowboys and storm with a big power game, but it won't happen. Aggression and line speed will slow it down but we need something differently to beat them in the middle...
