Thanks for the NSW Cup link.
It seems our wingers in this team are also coached to rush in to try to make a second tackler on the opposition centre, only to leave their opposing winger with a free run to the tryline. What has happened to marking up on your opposing number, and having faith that your inside player will be able to make the tackle on his opposing number?

Agree with you Who. Its a problem this club and some others have where the winger moves in or across. Even if you're the quickest winger out there, you would struggle to get back into position in defence and you get caught out, especially now with the corner posts are no longer a barrier, a player will not be deemed out of play unless he makes contact with either the touch-line or touch-in-goal-line or the ground beyond the touch line or touch-in-goal line.

Didn't work for Nathan Merritt playing NSW who was told to mark Inglis in the centre but what about his winger Boyd who score a couple tries in the corner no sliding, no communication and that was the end of Merritt.

The wing position is one of the hardest, stressful position on the field, you are by yourself out there and you have to think quickly and be aware of your surroundings as mistakes can change the game completely.

You have to be quick / fast, confident catching all ball situations, being alert, read the game well including knowing to get right back on the 5th tackle to be ready for the kick, communicate with your outside man and know your positional defence. Thats why its a Specialised Position and you have specialised wingers to play there.

Years ago if you were a skinny kid, the coach would put you on the wing so you wouldn't get hurt. Thats all changed now as wingers play like an extra forward, roaming infield to take hit-ups to help out the forwards out
