Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 2667401, member: 2021"] I'll let out a secret... I'm a big fan, not because of his ability but because of his attitude, as a supporter I find it hard to not like him, compared to say Norman who I found it easy to hate on and was wishing every week that the round 13 deadline would pass without him changing his mind. Maranta is one of those players I just really like. He never sooks, he's happy to play anywhere, and by all reports has a great attitude on and off the field. As hesitant as he is, I think he's got potential to be a pretty handy player once he gains confidence. His support play at fullback for that try was just brilliant, the only player at our club who I could see doing something Similar would be Boyd. Kahu is awesome in his own right, but Maranta, as numpty as his mistakes can be, seems to be smarter than he's given off so far. All in all, while I'd happily take Gagai and Kahu over him, I'm still happy he's at our club. As good as Hoffman is as a winger, I'd still prefer Maranta because Hoffman is a cry baby like Norman was who up and left because they couldn't get their preferred position even when they clearly weren't the best choice. I also don't buy Maranta is the worst winger in the game, he's very safe under the high ball, from what I've seen so far is good and defence (that tackle was pretty awesome) and is serviceable in attack, the fact that he's not a liability automatically places him above the worst wingers, and with some confidence, if he can get better in attack, at the very least he's a very good depth option. Guys like Parker, McGuire, Gillett, Maranta, Hodges, they're all players I have respect for because they seem as passionate as the fans about winning each game. /Random late night thought. [/QUOTE]
