We had a remarkable run of fullbacks really. Even if I didn't think some were really full backs. Barrett (more s after he left us), Warhurst, Makin Serrant. Probably others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he wasn't, he played in nearly every position ( including goal ) for us but was primarily a right back when I was watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a right back with a speciality in deliberate up and unders. A tactic you won't find in a FIFA coaching manual, but just as effective as the 'Gary Owen' Rugby ploy of unsettling opponents.

In Union I don't think they do the up and under as much as they did 10, 15, 20 years ago. Probably for a variety of reasons but some law changes are a significant factor. They do still use the up and under in League though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played league at primary. First game of union at secondary, I tackled a lad and stood off him. The bugger just got up and ran off with the ball. Proper shit sport Union.
