He'll learn more coming off the bench and playing tight head than he will being a loose head in the stands.LeRouxIsPHat wrote:Lads, I'm aware of the benefits of him being able to play both sides thanks! I just don't think he'll ever be any way decent at tighthead and foresee a situation in 3/4 years time where his game hasn't improved at all if he was to flick between both sides during that time as opposed being a really good loosehead in 2 years or so.
Some guys aren't really set up for switching. When he broke through Healy was strong but a bit too light for tighthead. It can be done, but you need to be very, very good technically to get by. Healy wasn't, he relied on power.
