Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2851524, member: 1899"] Gillett wasn't the most reliable defender before Bennett came along. He wasn't awful by any means, but he was really inconsistent and he was just as likely to put on a big shot as he was to get dragged back an extra five metres. He clearly worked on his technique and his defence has been one of the biggest difference makers in this era under Bennett. I do remember a few seasons ago being criticised for rating Gillett a better defender than Tallis. That may have been sometime in 2014 to 2015? Point being, the perception of him being a poor defender certainly existed. I was really upset with Matt Gillett and his trip on Johnathan Thurston last season and while he still has that odd brain dead play in him, he has been far and away the Broncos best player this season and a legitimate Top 10 candidate in the league. His performance against Canberra was inspirational and if any player deserved to score a double it was him and I'm really happy now that he's going to finish his career as a Bronco. At the rate he's going, he's going to finish up in the All-Time 17, a distinction that looked unlikely at times. [/QUOTE]
