Im Giving Lukosious the first half of the season, if it doesnt work in the forward line i think we could use him on a wing or defense as a half back quartarback.
Didnt he scoff at the suggestion last year of playing down back even when you guys needed some support down there due to injury?

He sees himself as a forward only?

If he doesn't work forward, I would have him as the third tall, interceptor, run off in defence. His huge kick would be a weapon back there.
 
Lukosius has maintained both at Gold Coast and when he came to Port that he thinks his best football is played as a forward, that's where he thinks he can give most value. No player is going to refuse to play another position, but that is his stated preference.

Carr in his post-match press conference said one of the problems we had was the forward line didn't move enough. I remember key forwards being way behind the play when we pushed forward - and not just Lord. I would guess Carr's comment was a dog whistle for Lukosius to come into the side this week and set the standard for movement around the forward line by a key forward.

He did this at gold coast, not at port.

If he doesnt perform at the level playing as a forward unfortunately the choice will not be his. But there is a decent chance he plays good in the forward line this year i think.

Whitlock was guilty of this multiple times. Simply not reading the play where the team are battling for a 50/50 ball - needs to be aware that it's not going to be a nice clean play out of there and likely to be a dump kick 30m forward. Whitlock was well behind his defender on a number of occasions there.

Lord is a similar type. You can probably play one that does that, keep the defenders honest - but not two.

I think Lord is more of a stay at home forward though, so Whitlock is the one that needs to get on his bike.
