[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 1005152, member: 72520"] [MEDIA=youtube]SVCvKQljiwQ[/MEDIA] Of the 40 tries scored down the wing in this video, 19 of them have either been scored by a forward or have been scored as a a direct result of a forward’s offload. And that’s not included the ones that were scored as a result of just having a man like Squire or Coles drawing on defenders just by being there. Coaches absolutely do what hookers and back rowers in the wide channels. They draw in defenders to offload to and unleash speedsters and force defences to spread out their big boys across the park in order to counter the bigger ball carriers on the wing, in turn creating more mismatches for speedsters against those big forwards that are having to cover the wide channels defensively. I don’t think there’s any arguing that in the modern game, stationing mobile forwards on the wing absolutely is a tactic. [/QUOTE]
