Geez Nomad, I am buggered if I can work it out, I have wondered about that myself. Is it his defence (mind you don't know I would want a poor defender there, because you cop the blindside moves), or is it so he running around to take ball from any breakdown that quite often happens 10-15 metres infield. Seems a little strange to put your 9 in the 10 position top take the traffic that comes through there. Must watch again and see if the new 9 also stands in the 10 position!
It was a serious question from me , I haven’t watched a lot of TSS , but every game I have seen for the past 2 seasons , that is where he stands for defensive lineouts .
Agree , you would think that someone would have challenged that short channel by now . The first pick 9 for TSS is very good defensively , played back row up until around U15, and is very good over the ball. Have seen him put some great hits on this year and get a few pilfers , so maybe it’s as simple as that .
Normally a reason why a player regularly stands out of position in defence . Particularly when he is the quality of Parata.
