Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2673713, member: 1917"] [b]Re: Should Ashley Taylor Be Promoted[/b] That's not my concern. My concern is that we're competitive with Milford at five-eight but never elite. Like if Milford becomes a 7/10 kinda guy -- going well enough and has enough natural talent that you don't drop him, but never really hitting top gear. If this happens the goalposts on Taylor will move. Right now it's "He's not even played against men yet". If we're competitive with Milford but haven't won a prem, those goalposts will move and it'll be like "Milford is going pretty well and Hunt is on fire, they're just going to get better". Fact is, Milford will probably be good enough that there's always going to be a reason not to play Taylor in the halves ahead of him. But I don't think our premiership potential is as great with Milf in 6 rather than 1. Locky was a genius five eight, but he still won 3x as many premierships at fullback than he did five eight, and in large part that's because in those teams he had two strong halves as well to take away the focus and allow him to have more time and space. From a team point of view, I think we'll be more dominant if Milford is our #3 guy who works with two strong halves, rather than having to be one of the two strong halves. But we'll always be competitive with Milford. Which I'm sure will mean one of you will now be like "You're complaining we're competitive". But I think we could be more than just that. The Storm have shown that having a Big 3 takes you so much further. I want that. I think we can have that. But not with Milford at 6. [/QUOTE]
