BUT!!!
if we can jsut get another foward.
1 more foward.
that would allow us to play roo on the wing.
it would be sensational.
LOOK HOW WELL RICHO PLAYS, AND YOU CANT TELL YOURSELF THAT RICHO AND ROO ARENT SIMILAR PLAYERS!

It was discussed on SEN today that we have two of the best contested mark tall forwards in the competition...we could get more, but if we are not interested much in goals?

Well we may need another forward but we aint going to recruit one to replace a 4 time b&f winner in the forward line. Rooy will always be a forward but may go on the ball once in a blue moon if the side is struggling.

So we are to ape the Tigers are we??

Where did they finish last year?

Besides Richo has always played wide...more as a HF Flanker than a CHF or FF.

Just like Richo..Roo has a licence to run far and wide...

and just like Richo..hes a key forward marking option most times the ball goes forward.

The days of a wingman hugging the boundary on "his" side of the ground vanished when Stuart Trott retired

Roo already plays everywhere from CHF and runs his opponents ragged.

But I would love to see Kosi being given a similar role as Richo.

Kosi is at his best drifting forward or reading the play from the back. That is how he dominated in 2005.

Very different to playing permanent FF which is highly restrictive and requires a fast lead to create space which Kosi doesn't have.

I wouldn't have thought that Kosi is a similar type of athlete to either Richo or Roo. Doesn't have their pace, or tank for that matter.

To me, Kosi is a follower in a game that is rapidly evolving into a follower-less game, sadly. And he's not a good enough ruckman to make it as just a ruckman. It'll be interesting to see where he is used effectively this year.
