Sheens didn't invent moving playing out of position. Its been going on since day dot. Where we went wrong was the constant shuffle, and crazy selections every single week.
I'd be interested if anyone could point out a modern day coach who didn't shuffle players around over their career.
Yeah true but no one did it more than us last year and also using 3 reserves last year and having a utility sitting on the bench for the full 80 minutes unused…. If you say wing... he wouldn't be as affective there , why not use Nofo he is a specialist winger?
Maybe Nofo isn't ready. And there is little doubt Tedesco is a greater prospect over him.
Also Tedesco started in NYC on the wing, its not a foreign position. Not to mention wing/fullback have many similar elements.
Also I think (if Potter goes with Teddy on the wing) it will suit the long term prospects of the team, not just tonight. Getting Tedesco much needed experience in 1st grade against quality players, without the greater pressure of taking over a spine position.
I can definitely see the apprehension in moving players around, we are all gunshy after last year. But we shouldn't be scared off the possibility completely.
