I just think they could give him a hand and maybe put him at blindside flanker and just help him out a little bit.

It's easy to say that, but out of his 19 carries, he set 14 rucks.

He got gain line 40% of the time, and he got lightning quick ball 30% of the time.

So I think that's what I mean.

If he gets that balance between carry and pass, and maybe, you know, like he obviously, out of those 19 touches, 14 rucks set, so he gets the offload away.

Totally agree, Bryn, but he can do that at centre.

He can do that at wing.

I still think we can get that edge threat

it's okay if they are going to use more of this ball player as a forward it's just making sure they get their balance right because it just yes it made some dents but it wasn't necessarily off those rucks that was quick ball if that makes sense but

What he did do, although it wasn't quick, it's so complicated.

Like, I've had to watch the game a couple of times because it's easy to be knee-jerk, and I probably was a little bit knee-jerk and defensive to forwards in my initial walk.

But he attracts a lot of bodies.

So although it wasn't lightning quick ball, he made the dent.

He, I suppose, tied in the defence and then allowed them to get on the outside.

So it's not all...

It's not necessarily all about the gain line, all about the lightning quick ball because of what he does in terms of that threat.

But man, when he started playing with the ball, out the back, short balls, that's when I thought, wow, okay, he's a dynamic threat.

he gets the ball a lot more in this role.

And yeah, I just think if they're going to do it and they do it in a big game, I'd probably have him at eight or six, just purely around the defensive stuff.

And when I say about the scrum, so man, like he did a pretty good job.
