Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2673747, member: 1847"] [b]Re: Should Ashley Taylor Be Promoted[/b] I have made no secret of the fact I think Boyd would best serve us as wing this year with Milford at FB - playing 2nd 5/8. Lockyer played FB for what, 7 years from 20, before he moved to become as Ari posted, a genius permanent 5/8. He in part learned his craft as a brilliant 5/8 at NRL level, from the back, over 7 years, not the least came from not having the pressure of starting in the front line like Milford has had to do at 20, and starting at 19. Maybe Milford will become a superior 5/8 within the year. We all hope so for this year. I do. But this has nothing to do with Taylor playing in the halves this year which for mine, could, and should happen, only if Hunt and/or Milford were injured, or got to rep level, and that would be subject to Bennett's view of his ability to fill in which i trust. What's important to me is when Taylor (and Milford) come off contract in '16, and all things being equal, both want to stay. How to accommodate them both and have the best possible side? For mine, the best, if not necessarily the only way to do that, all things being equal as to form, for 2016, is to move Milford to FB, Boyd to the centres or wing, Hodges to retire, Taylor to half and Hunt to 5/8. Then there is Jayden and Byrnes, Kahu, and Oates as well. As B4L rightly said, this is just so much speculation and assumption but then, this is what makes the thread interesting for me, but has now reached its limit, for now. Nevertheless, speculating about the future of promising young talent in this club is for me fun and worthwhile, if no other reason than to look at the best possible, successful futures for this great club..
