Oldfield and Wolfman swapped wings? Excellent coaching decision Toovs.

definitely agree with this, hope it's the case, and if so, hope it works as well as it does in my head.

 

[Clint]

Far out the Broncos squad looks strong. Thought they'd be a lot shorter in the betting than what they are.
Given their young age they are specials for a premiership in the next few years.

 

[Cameron]

Club site say joe has Achilles injury

I don't see any swap there ?

Robertson was always in the #2 outside Matai and that is where Oldfield will now be. Wolfman was in the #5 in the WCC from memory

Correct. I think the swap comes in where Oldfield was the replacement for Wolfy and thus played mainly in the 5.

I think Lyon is going to get him in the clear a lot more and that is exactly what we need with a kid with the pace that Oldfield has

Ure right but I think Jamie can also help oldfield defensively. I think it would be really hard for a new winger being next to kiwi Steve because he likes to shoot out of the line for big hits. If he misses its alot of work for an in experienced winger to clean up.

Agreed, Matai can expose a new winger and put him in two minds, which we have seen in the past with Oldfield, not knowing whether to hold his width or come in leaving the wing exposed (for the record he should be told to always hold his width no matter what, and let the guys inside him take the blame for being out of position)

Jamie should allow him a lot more time to adjust and learn when to make what decision

True. Lyon did wonders for Trex when he was on the wing. Lyon is so good at reading the defence. He really is the complete footballer. Hopefully this is Oldfields break out year?
