Out of interest has Purrington ever played left wing back?
For me there is a difference between being a left back and a left wing back. The main one being the energy levels you need to get up and down that pitch.
Say we are interested in Purrington. When we are looking at data for him is it at a LB position? Because to me itās a totally different role.
Not saying he canāt do it. But can he go past a player? Does he have the stamina to get back into position when before he may of had a LM/LW to help him on that side of the pitch?
For me, wing back is the hardest part of our team to recruit because of how specialist and how important it is for us in our system of play.
