What's up with the Manly second row

[coreyh88]

Why are their numbers all mixed up. Shirts read: 11: watmough 13: Stewart 12: horo (potentially have watmough and horo wrong way around) but they play 11: horo 13: watmough 12: Stewart. On a somewhat relevant note I think if Macca is having a good game as well as thaiday in the front row thaiday plays a lot like watmough. Running fast in behind the ruck. But when he's in 12 he is essentially Glenn Stewart plus big hits and minus a grubber.

Are you talking about how Watmough is named in the 2nd row and plays lock? And vice versa with Glenn Stewart?

Cause a few other clubs do that too. Titans do it with Harrison and Myles.

Is there a reason they do this though?

 

[Alec]

No idea. Maybe they just like the numbers.

There's no law that says 13 as lock must play middle. Nor 4 play right centre. nor even 7 and 6 play opposite sides.
it's just the way most teams play.

The real question for me is why Buhrer gets so little minutes. I frankly find it baffling.

He doesn't get that little gametime, but you're right, you'd think they'd be playing Steve Menzies jnr ahead of Horoble and Stewartess.
