We may never see the best of him outside a centre of Shentons calibre (I've mentioned the Carney / Shenton - try / assist ratio previously on another thread), as he's only a season loan.

Correct mate, watch some of Shenny's assists. He didn't try to create an overlap but the Cas tactics were always designed to get the ball to Justin with a 10 metre run at his opposite winger. Its just another bit of Powell's forward thinking as I don't recollect seeing it done any where else.

We're definitely playing him in a different way. While he isn't receiving walk-in tries his size and power is being utilized in a different manner. One befitting a side that lets a strong backline take pressure off its forwards. He's been given much more free reign to get his hands on the ball all over the pitch and one look at the stats on the Superleague site shows Carney as the leagues top metre maker. He's also third in tackle busts. I think it shows that he's been given a different role to play other than being on the end of walk-in tries, and is doing it well.

You don't have a back line the size of ours and don't utilize that power, think it is a bit of genius from the club with the reduced interchanges to make the props smaller and the backs bigger, what they have done in effect is make the entire team (halves aside) capable of taking a hit up.

Seriously can't wait until Vidot is back, 4 huge battering rams in the backs but all with a bit of toe and skill.

Re: What I don't understand : Thu Mar 10, 2016 9:12 am  

Yeah I'm looking forward to Vidot putting on the shirt. He's a real handful for any team to play against and he loves the rough stuff.

I agree why hav some one of his capability sat on the wing when we don't have the people inside him to utilise him the way Cas did, use his strengths else where to assist the forwards as we've seen he's devastating in broken play aswell.

Just hope we can hold onto for longer than this season, as from interviews he seems to be enjoying it here.

For me we should be using Sa'u and Carney when we have a 10 meter scrum on the opposition line, have both of them line up with a huge run in on either side so the defence is split as to who gets it and feed one. With their size and power pretty sure quite a few tries would result.
