He is not playing half back to learn to be defensive.
I didn't say that.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

when you mentioned running back to defense, it seemed that direction....
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

No. I said that nothing stops a mid from running back into defense to help out. Just needs a tank to be able to gut run. Hopefully with a full preseason under his belt he'll be able to do that.

which is not the role Houli played, and from that article he will be playing houlis role.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Lids is basically saying the backline will stay the same as the last couple of weeks.

Big deal, kid looks great down there. Should have another full year after this before he becomes a stagnated B-grade defender bahaha

Oh goody, another midget backman  :lol

Lids is only saying that to keep himself out of there....

Houli 180cm
C Ellis 184cm

Yep, another midget. But oh well, I suppose he could play tall like Batch.... :whistle

Rance; 194cm
Chaplin;195cm
Grimes: 193cm
Astbury: 195cm

See the trend???? What height are most of the big forwards??

What height are most of the decent backs?

So you think all defenders need to be 190 cm plus?

 Not all forwards are big, so it stands to reason that not all backs need to be big either.

How would Astbury go on a 174 cm Ballentyne? 173 cm Betts? 181 cm Fasolo?(source, Wikipedia)
See the trend?

NO not all, don't be stuffing stupid now and start coming out with crap I'm not saying or meaning like usually happens on this site.

The 3 main backs I would like to see are around the height of Rance, I like the look of Rance, Grimes and another tall in the backline, maybe old mate from the Bombers. Yes we need medium size backman but of late we haven't had Rance, Chaplin/Astbury and Grimes in the same team. We looked a lot better last week with the 3 talls in didn't we???

I don't think Houli, Morris and Batchelor to combine with Rance, Grimes, Astbury/Chaplin are the answer either.
