Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2737613, member: 1847"] There is no rush on my part for Oates to move to the back row. He's admitted himself he isn't mentally tough enough for the back row. As well, I love watching him play on the wing, running over fullbacks. In fact, I argued for him to play there a year or 2 ago and was roundly criticised for it in these threads I would also like him in the centres a la Gene Miles, except centre isn't gonna happen, not with Reed entrenched there and Kahu who for mine is a first class centre and my choice over Reed. "Putting" him in the back row with Gillett was just a fantasy where I could imagine him running over not just fullbacks, but opposing props, back rowers, halves, centres, wingers and ball boys. Having Oates running off Milford's shoulder on the left and, Roberts on the right - the club's 2 fastest and most damaging runners is such a nice fantasy. As for Gillo, I am expecting so much more attack from him this year, and I think from what we have seen of him running the ball so far this season, that might well be Wayne's plan too. Again, he is the last player we need to lose and the first player bar none we need to re-sign. [/QUOTE]
