[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 516374, member: 43875"] I actually think wing is in a way a less demanding position defensively than fullback. So I don't see an issue with this move from that point of view. I think his defense is ok but he's not very big and fullbacks I think need some bulk to be able to stop players before the line. Defending on the wing at least you have the sideline to work with and cover to help. As a 15 you usually have to make tackles that the front line and cover have missed. Tiko did take a shoulder knock last week, maybe something in that. I agree last weeks game wasn't Bradley best but of course I didn't base my statement just on that game he has had a couple of really good showings, it was likely his first game against the Crusaders pack and he will learn from that. Kane has not been super impressive but the chiefs have been winning games with him playing #8 and he has been a part of some "good pack efforts" which suggests that he's doing something right. I still find it strange that Lee is totally off the radar. [/QUOTE]
