[QUOTE="Penne Rara, post: 861002, member: 74680"] I agree with you about Dagg staying on the wing, but I also understand why it is such a dangerous option to consider putting Mckenzie at 15. The Lions played tight on defense last Saturday, and you can't expect them to give you a lot of space to run into. Mckenzie does his magic during counter-attacks, when there is no defined defensive line, when the opposition is stretched vertically and horizontally. There will be no such case next time the ABs play the Lions. You need a fullback just like Ben Smith. He injects himself in the game and helps get quick ball as a second halfback or another big runner. This is what Mckenzie cannot offer because he would be smashed and most certainly give away possession. [/QUOTE]
