Pringer?

Haha. Nice thread this one.
My young fella plays prop for his local club.

Team has had a couple of injuries and need to get a younger kid to step up and play wing.
Unfortunately this means that the correct age division kids need to play the first 10 mins before the younger guys can step up.

For some unknown reason the Coach sees something in my young fella and his ability to fill in on the wing, even though he runs in quicksand and reads wing play like Lewis Brown.
Last 2 weeks he has played wing, before switching back to prop...Im pretty sure there wont be a third experiment. Lol
 
Without the explosive power metres our back 5 do each game Manly would be near the bottom of the table.

For example compare the involvement of Tom to Brett, Brett would struggle to break 50mtrs per game and less than 10 runs per game for the most part.
 
Mate, you're usually spot on with positional play - do you think Jorge would make a fist of say a backrow position, especially if the club was able to sign someone like Daniel Tupou on the wing?

Don't know if he would have the stamina for 80 mins (and that is a must) also would need to change his tackling technique .... it is possible. At the moment I rate him ahead of Tupou in all things other than the high ball. And he has only dropped 2 of those in 9 games. The re-start he gives to a set, and his damaging cameo runs would convince me to leave him exactly where he is.
