Can you shuffle?

or should i say, reshuffle, this weeks backline?

with a lack of spark in attack and our injury list, the current depth is being tested. can you reshuffle the backline to bring back the tiger flamboyance? im curious as to hear peoples ideas - out of the norm stuff. if it means a 2nd rower to centre, to 5/8 - i dont care. let us hear it.

*assume no mckinnon, tuqiri, utai, lawrence etc.

my pick is:
1\. brown
2\. ryan
3\. ayshford
4\. marshall
5\. ???
6\. motlzen
7\. lui

the way i see it, we throw these spectacular balls to our centres that create great attacking opportunity. lui and motlzen can both throw these balls. the difference would be the magic marshall is then receiving these balls at pace. he'd be another jennings. i think we need it at the moment. brown also chimes in well in attack. im just not sure about the winger on marshalls side - needs to be fast though. maybe a rookie?

who would you pick and why?
 
1\. Mckinnon
2\. Tuiqiri
3\. Ayshford
**4\. LIAM FULTON - CRISIS AVERTED.**
5\. Mitch Brown
6\. Marshall
7\. Lui

14\. Moltzen - BUT PLAY AS A HALF WHEN YOU GO ON!

no thanks benji is the worlds best 5/8th

thats not an argument in my book

its a team game

if the worlds best player has to change positions in the short term to benefit of the team, its what should happen

i dont know about fulton in the centres. i've heard it tossed up before but im not convinced he'd offer much there..

in attack he's great up through the middle, hitting, spinning and passing. i dont see that working for him in the centres…

in saying that, it wouldnt concern me if we gave it a try.

And how many people believe it would benefit the team? I guess the answer would not be many…and certainly the coach does not think so.
