Originally posted by SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva View PostI'm a little surprised by some of the calls for Teddy to play 5/8. Does he have the kicking game for it?
Haven't seen him kick but someone said he is quite handy in this department as well as goal kicking - fullbacks don't usually kick in general play - have to go back in time for when the ball was passed back to the fullback who would kick down field - oh and the old fullback kicking duel 's - a thing of the past

Last kicking jewels for us I recall involved 'Lets Party' Marty Gurr. We usually lost those too.
Looking back at it , it was a strange tactic.

Marty had a pretty decent left foot torpedo on him and I reckon we finished on top of most kicking duels with him. The best at it was Greg Brentnall from the doggies who had an Aussie rules background he could really give it a roost.
