New 13?

Post by covid tiger » 24 Feb 2021, 13:33

Really would like to see Powell to give Oneill or Milner a shot at 13 and put Massey back as a prop. For me playing the extra prop at 13 doesn't make sense especially as the game is faster now than ever before with no scrums etc?

Tbf to Milner and O’Neil they can both ball play at 13 . Don’t be surprised to see Turner there too

Super League and NRL seem to differ these days with a loose forward does during a game. In SL, we seem to use them as an extra forward lumping it in. In the NRL, they now have players like Cam Murray and Victor Radley, who are much smaller blokes, but play more wide and has a ball handler. O'Neill would be a perfect 13 IMO.

Young Jaques for me, and hopefully for a few years.

Massey at 13 for me with Milner n O'Neil to fight over the last bench spot, Massey is great at finding his front n getting the quick ptb which is why DP has always played him imo

You seem to have provided good reasons why Massey should be at prop. I'd like him there, either starting o coming off the bench where his quick PTB might catch the tiring opposition off guard.

I don't think hes big enough for prop doesn't make the metres or add an off load and defensively doesn't put the hits in.
