Opinion Jack Hethrington- edge back rower.

[Weak Gutted Dog]

Edge back rower for Hethrington. So much better than as a prop.
Might help him to control his temper and allow his athletic attributes to shine through.

 

[Grechy21]

Couldn’t agree with you more
He was good today

 

[GA45]

Better then what is currently on the roster in the second row.

Definitely the last 2 weeks his had his better games on a edge. He looked really good out there today. Happy to see him smile the big lad.

 

[B-Train]

A few of us have been suggesting this since we signed him considering his pace, lack of effectiveness as a prop and that his best form with the Warriors last year was also when he played on an edge.

Hopefully Baz persists with it going into next season because he looks a lot better in space.

 

[Total Fool]

How refreshing was it to see FINALLY an edge backrower making yards with each hit up???

Yes it was only 1 game… but Hetherington played exceptionally well today.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Left edge forwards is looking good for next season. Both Hetho and TPG can play there, and TPG is a top line prop as well. Potential for some switching around in games to take advantage of different scenarios.

RFM also a good left edge who can play prop.

 

[Snowmann]

Gus feels the same.

 

[ddt192]

Give him a preseason there. I hope Eliott is a goner tomorrow. When RFM finally returns he has to play in the middle off the bench.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Yes, I said so when we signed him. It only took an entire season for Baz to okay him there and for the rest of TK to cop on.

 

[B-Train]

I've always thought Thompson should also have more runs wider of the ruck to utilise his footwork and acceleration. He should still primarily be a middle player, but I don't know why athletes like Thompson and Hetherington are wasted as battering rams all game when they can cause damage wider of the ruck running at halves and centres.

That is a fair comment. We have tried Waddell Stimson Elliot and Jackson on edges.
Then finally in last round he gives Hethrington a go.
Frustrating.
But let’s just hope it’s a start

I thought he showed promise when he had to fill in when Doorey got hurt last week.

 

[sgodllubsti]

big jack plays hard plays tough plays with passion, cannot say he doesnt have a go when hes on the field, looking forward to seeing what he can do next season

 

[B-Train]

Hetherington playing wide and Gus' tweet about it just confirms the influence Gus will have on selections moving forward. I doubt it occurred to Baz all of a sudden 23 games into the season to suddenly play Hetherington there... Thankfully Gus is around to provide guidance and see what others can't.

I can back you up bro.

Some people need to apologise

 

[Noeasyday]

I've been saying this for a while now, good to see him take to it tonight, if he gets a pre-season training there he could be quite useful on the edge.
I noticed today that Jackson at times defended on the edge with Hetho in the middle which seemed to work well.

I'm one of the few that's been with you all the way mate.
