@ Asker Thanks! Right, you have to entirely different constructions there: in the first one, 'marauding' is a verb and 'forward' is an adverb; while in the second, 'marauding' is an adjective (strcitly speaking, gerundive!) and 'full-back' is a noun (a person playing in a certain position).
'to maraud' doesn't really mean to bully, it usually has more the sense of 'to patrol', here are 2 definitions off the 'Net that should give you the right idea:

@ Asker Please could you give us an example of where it is used with 'full-back', since the usage there would seem to be different — 'full-back' is a player position; 'forward' can be also, though here it is being used as an adverb instead.
