tarrant change

[Magpies2005]

what does everyone think about tarrant playing in the centre or off a half back?
in the age today they had a interview with him and it said if tarrant didnt have a knee injury and all the talls go down as well he would of been pushed up the ground more

i personally think that would be a great move coz his a awesome mark when he gets a good run at it, and his also got the speed to jsut make it hard for others to take him.

then put rocca full forward changing with fraser in the ruck and C3 playing at CHF

whats everyones thoughts?

I have said for a years that he should be tried on the wing. We need to change the mix and we need to get more drive from our wings and Tarrant can't kick goals. I think it might be too late though. He's has done a different weights program than he should as a full time running player. In any case we now have to develop Rowe and I'd like to Lonie played on a wing or traded. Rhyce Shaw can probably only play on a wing.

Perhaps the best answer is for Tarrant to get more dedicated to his game and the club and spend a couple of hours a day kicking goals and get better at it. Without Rocca we probably need Tarrant up forward anyway. If a couple from C2, C3, Walker and Morrison can make it as key forwards then maybe Tarrant can be used elsewhere but right now it probably isn't viable. I think we missed the boat as usual.

Nothing to do with missing the boat, if there's nobody to take his place at FF then he's stuck there. Now that Rocca's injured (and thats nobody's fault) he's stuck there until TCloke develops further or Josh is back to full fitness, and somebody is capable of taking Josh's spot in the ruck.

However if you look at tall midfielders playing very well at other clubs (Embley, Hird, Bruce, Pavlich come immediately to mind) it makes me drool to think how damaging Tarrant could be as a marking running midfielder/forward.

Its certainly not too late, injury permitting to our other forward options.
