Waratah Backline

Mike Thompson 15 May 2006 03:47:12
 
There's talk in today's paper of Rogers going back to fullback. THANK CHRIST FOR THAT.

The 'Tahs backline has been utterly toothless with Rogers at 10 - in fact,
it's got worse with Rogers at 10, not better. The current 'Tahs have a good forward
pack, a decent kicker and an ineffectual backline. They can't even score
the occasional try off first phase anymore.

Rogers: great player but ordinary 10 - poor vision, option taking & organisation,
surprisingly bad in defence and an average passing game.

The man is a terrific outside back and I do mean very outside because even his
previous stint at outside center, under Jones, was marked by defensive lapses
and over playing his hand. He's a wing or a fullback - leave him there.

Unfortunately Helengahau (sp?) looks like being the new 10 instead of Norton
Knight. On Saturday night, McKensie talked about Norton Knight being
"Mr Versatile" - great forwards coach, but he makes clanger decisions in the
backs.

At least with Rogers at 15, he'll have the chance to recombine with Tiquiri
in attack down the left, something which has worked well in the past and
been sadly missed of late.

Near certainty.

Can you be a great player with that many flaws?

Those flaws stop you from being a great 10, not from being a very
effective line breaking outside back.
Can you seriously entertain him at 15 if he can't defend?>

Defense at 10 is very different to defense at 15 - both in quantity and quality.
