I think not too long ago they were regarded as simply finishers.

They obviously brought something to the table but there influence was generally at the attacking end of the spectrum.

I think Jerry, Hall and TM probably lead the way in changing that in SL along with their coaches which has seen them being crucial to exit sets but also being expected to do the finishing too.

I think wingers stock has risen significantly in regards their role in the team in the last decade, and rightly so.
