Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2319013, member: 1808"] Firstly Kevin Walters didn't come to the Broncos till 1990, not 1989 when he was still playing for the Canberra Raiders, Bennett recruited him for 1990 onwards as a potential successor for Lewis and for his utility value. Secondly playing Kevin Walters at 5/8th [u][b][i]was[/i][/b][/u] a huge success for the Broncos in 1990 and would prove to be a real masterstroke move in the premierships to come. He was a huge factor for the Broncos making a serious dent in the competition that season and thats despite Lewis having serious injury concerns that would have effected his form and amount of games he played that season regardless of if he played at 5/8th or lock. IMO a fully fit Lewis at lock alongside Walters at 5/8th would have been outstanding and of more benefit for the Broncos then having a fully fit Lewis at 5/8th and Walters on the bench. Personally I wouldn't have a problem naming Lewis at lock in state of origin and Lockyer at 5/8th allowing slater to play fullback, Lewis would have been just as dominate at lock as he would have been at 5/8th.
