[QUOTE="higgik, post: 1053945, member: 74704"] Maybe Lawrence is a 13 in old rugby, but more often the 12 has been seen as the 'go forward' option, with the 13 being the distributor/outside break style. The 13 is used to keep defences narrow, so that the 2nd distributor can pass outside the rush defence. Maybe with 50:20 rule, the spaces will change. As for now Devoto offers the power at 12 with Slade at 13, and a runner like Steward at 15. Alternatively, I would like to see 2 power centres and a playmaker at 15, e.g. Devoto, Marchant with Malins at 15. EJ want to play the first way, look back at Farrell, Manu, Slade as first choice, with Daly at 15. Therefore I think a backline of 10 Smith 11 Radwan 12 Devoto 13 Slade 14 Watson 15 Steward But a case could be made for 10 Smith 11 Radwan 12 Devoto 13 Marchant 14 Watson 15 Malins [/QUOTE]
