[QUOTE="The_Wol, post: 977732, member: 37787"] The Queensland Reds used to run this option with Berrick Barnes and Quade Cooper changing from 10 and 12 when they felt like it with mixed success. I much prefer the 10 and 15 play maker combination. Hell if I had been in charge of the Reds I'd have trialed Quade Cooper as a full back simply for the counter attacking opportunity. It comes down to how well your playmakers can mesh though. The Barnes Cooper combo didn't work because they were such different style of players. Barnes was boring and consistent, Quade was exciting and unpredictable. It's like using a musket and a modern sniper rifle, One is consistent and you know what it'll do 98% of the time, the other is unpredictable but when it hits oh boyyyy [/QUOTE]
