Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2725251, member: 1899"] That's the sort of talk I want to see. Either way, Sam is going to play backrow, so why shouldn't he want to be in the starting line-up? Gillo and Glenn are quality players, but there's always room for improvement and a player of Thaiday's experience can certainly provide that difference. My biggest concern with Sam is that he can be lazy in defence. Sure, he'll make a ton of tackles but there will be an effort somewhere whether it's the first or seventy-eighth that leaves you shaking your head. While I don't believe Gillo is faultless in defence, he is constantly keeping busy and it's easy to lose track of the number of try-saving tackles he pulled off. I remember that Round 24 clash against Sydney where he pulled about 3 in the opening 20 minutes. If he hadn't have been there, RTS would have had a field day down that right fringe. If Thaiday can meet that, or if heaven forbid Gillett or even Glenn fail to mantain that, then Sam can have that spot. [/QUOTE]
