Why does it ? Not getting forward until needed has resulted in our defence being a lot tighter, not conceding goals, and winning more games. Ruffs and long allow the wingers the confidence to attack more and when needed or the opportunity arises get forward and chip in with goals and assists. The ball might have been laid back, but u less they are getting forward he wouldn’t have been there to score. Wing backs can work, but not really in our system, as it leaves us way to exposed
I personally believe they’re good utility players and have done a wonderful job, Ruffels in particular, but I believe that we need to improve in these areas if we want to progress as they are key positions for a successful team.
