i find higham and glees unpredictable in what there going to do.

i find clarkey extremely predictable. its either a pass, or a slow failed attempt to break the line from dummy half himself(i.e yesterday, when he made about a metre from acting half, and threw the ball to the ground. was predictable from the stands.)

his defence is his strong point though.


Just thinking, though, if the opposition coach were to be playing a defensive structure against Warrington, if they saw we had Higham and Glees, they'd plan to be defending constant 'jumps' from Dummy half for 80 minutes.
With Clarke and Higham rotating, or potentially rotating (as Clarke could slot into the Backrow), opposition coaches would need to plan for contrasting styles and different options around the ruck and, as a result, tighten in the A and B defenders for when Higham is on, creating space outwide.
On the other side, they'd perhaps widen the distance between the A defender and, say the C defender for when Clarke is on, as they'd be expecting a direct pass from Dummy Half. This could allow for Monas or Briers to create space on the inside shoulders of the defenders close to the ruck (see the 'X option' ball he favours with Gleeson and Westwood).
Variety is the spice of life, as they say.






We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about
