I think we'd get more from CNK if he was hanging off Wighton's right shoulder and George's left. Even if he just creates doubt or he provides an option for someone like Bateman cutting back in.
How it looks at the moment is they've trained for something that is just not getting used.
Maybe it'll see some use in the finals as the usual go left is defended more effectively.
George always looks like he's just begging for a straight runner as he drifts across- CNK looming up for an inside short ball would fit the bill. Then the defender has to stick with CNK + Bateman will likely be hitting that angle back in that direction too so George has two short ball options then, or that should have made room for Rapa + Cotric to be 2 on 2 at worst out there And both of them can certainly bust a tackle. With the cover just held a second or two longer by those CNK/JB runs too...
And if CNK was just in support off Wightons hip, then Wighton almost always pokes his body through off that left foot step (even when he doesn't break through entirely)- then CNK would be there as an offload option on the back of Wightons run too.
