Round 23 Sydney Roosters Vs Manly Sea Eagles Disccussion thread.

Locks can be used in various ways. There is a hard-working lock who just concentrates on workrate and getting through a lot of work, therefore freeing the backline and the halves to do their job eg. Dallas Johnson, David Stagg. And there is the creative lock that adds another dimension to a team's attack and has ball-playing ability eg. Glenn Stewart, Corey Parker.

I'd use Anasta at lock personally but James Aubusson would not look out of place at lock if we needed another hard worker in the backrow to get some more work done, work that Fitzgibbon would usually do.

The thing in common with the best locks, such as the pretty one-dimensional defensive ones like Hilder, Luck, Johnson, Stagg, and the best of the ballplaying ones like Harrison, Stewart, Parker, is that they all average over 30 tackles.

Anasta does not. That is the problem.

The best teams usually have about three starting forwards good for 30+ tackles every match. As of next year, we have ONE - Friend. Jorbs can, I think he would make a very good lock actually. In the Dallas Johnson style - its worth a try definitely. Could be the next Ricko.

IMO Maubs would make a much better lock than Jaubs.
