Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3690108, member: 9052"] It depends what we were looking to recruit... were we looking for depth or starting 17 player?? I think we were potentially looking for a new Jensen / depth signing and going with a moneyball approach and hoping to get a starting 17 player. He does have qualities with his quick ptb and surprisingly decent skill shown from a couple try assists coming from his limited time on the field (potentially also shows footy smarts)... unfortunately I think one of his biggest issues is a lack of physicality. Jensen might not have the best post contact meters or tackle busts going around, but he will seemingly always run 100% into the line. I think Baker would be better as the third wheel on the field i.e. being out there with 2 of Haas, Patty or Willison... his lack of physicality means he can't be expected to maintain or turn momentum... which is not a great trait to have as a middle forward. Unfortunately physicality is a mental thing, but I'm assuming it must be in him somewhere, because how else do you make it to this level as a middle forward... and it's not like he's a small dude. Maybe it's fitness or something?? You'd really be hoping that he is able to dominate Qcup level and be a leader of the pack down there to be demanding selection in the 17... otherwise they'll just let his contract run out and he'll be looking to keep his career afloat [/QUOTE]
