I would love to see Sue on the edge permanently. I thought he was excellent there two years ago.
Sue can be close to an 80 min player on the edge and, as one our true primary defenders, he can play the enforcer role to protect Brooks.
Josh had a very good first year but there would be no harm in having him play off the bench.
Having Sue on the edge significantly strengthens our 2nd row stocks which, as we all know, is a position we are light in. I feel we are well placed for front rowers - Woods, Ava, Grant, JJ, Tatola, Paseka - that it makes sense to be playing Sue out wide.
I agree..would you switch Sue to Brooks side in defence and pair Lawrence with Moses…?
I don't mind so much.
Both Brooks and Moses need better protection from their inside men. My view is Brooks has a better defensive technique than Moses but Moses is more willing to put his body on the line.
Lawrence and Moses may work better together given that Moses at least usually slows down an attacker which should give Lawrence the more time that he needs, given lateral speed is really Chris's only weak facet in defense.
When Brooks and Lawrence leak its usually because Brooks has gone for an arm grab giving Lawrence no time to come across to cover the break. Moses is also better at defending before the line.
But I expect that Lawrence will stay left side given he has played most of his career there.
