Quote ="Dave K."Tansey is such an important player for us, 2nd behind Long IMO, creates so many trys and chances, the only player in the backs who can score a try out of nothing. Seems to be much safer at FB, but I wonder if he could be used more at Stand off.'"
The reason he's so dangerous is [ibecause[/i he's at fullback. Put him at half, where he doesn't have the same freedom (he'd have to work the right channel the majority of the time and he wouldn't have the chance to wrap around as the extra man on the second wedge when we move it wide), and a lot of his threat would be nullified.
