Message: [QUOTE="KnToad, post: 2846513, member: 8270"] Couldn't agree more Jay and I'm not one of the Slater lovers. Before his long layoff he was nowhere near his best and appeared on the slide while living off past glories. I've watched a fair bit of him since his return and he has been getting better and better every week. His speed and evasiveness is back and he is sniffing around the middle looking for chances like he used to. His try to win the game against the Sharks the other night was a great example of what he brings and what QLD were missing (apart from 3-4 damaging forwards) in Origin I. Boyd rarely shows up in broken play in the middle and while he is great at the extra man in the backline his timing has been a bit off lately for the Broncos and he keeps stuttering into the defensive line. Slater will put doubt in the Blues defensive line. They'll be thinking "where is he" all the time which might buy us some options in attack. Coopers combination with Thurston is legendary. Thurston makes Cooper a much better player and the Storm combos will also add to the attacking options and potency with Slater sniffing around the ruck and chasing Smith/Cronk kicks on cue. A much better balanced team. Just need the forwards to aim up and someone to take out Fifita and remind him he is human and can be hurt. Napa needs to do to him what he did to Sam Burgess last year and we will be in a much better position to compete with the Blues [/QUOTE]
