Put Roo in the Pivot

[bob__71]

I think the team could do worse than playing a more traditional centre man. Imagine a midfield that contained either roo or bj in the true centre position...hard at the stoppages and a link man from defence.

Anyone else like the idea of an oversize pivot?

ATM I see Goddard as our ideal centreman, so yes.

From another thread:

I love the idea bob - but in short bursts for Roo, and also like to see him coming in hard off the "wing" as they sometimes call it these days.

So we currently already do not have enough players who cannot kick goals...and so we need to:

*move Roo to the centre

* drop Milne

Roo ahd 9 goals this year to date, Milne 9 as well...but we need to move both out of our forward line??????

No, I don't think so.

I wouldn't drop Milne, but would love to see Roo rotated through the middle for a few minutes every now and then. Maybe 6 minutes per quarter.

With his aerobic capacity I don't think it will impact on how many goals he kicks, plus I can see him setting them up as well.
