Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2673226, member: 8315"] :laugh: My fave thread on BHQ. There are two kinds of players. Actually, that's not true. There's many different types of players but just humour me for a sec. Let's say one of them has trouble with the high ball. He'll attempt to cover up that fact by having strong kick returns, polishing off tries etc and generally doing enough to get by. The other player realises he can't catch bombs so he does nothing but catch bombs. He'll practice all day, everyday. He'll take high balls until it's the thing he does best. Maranta is in the latter group. He realises he has deficiencies in his game and he has improved out of sight. He's got the nod over more highly fancied players like Vidot because he's better than they are. To say Vidot is better is judging him on potential and not what he's served up. Lachlan has actually delivered. Fancy that, right? He has the heart of a champion which is why I've admired him over the last few seasons especially when contrasted to guys like Glenn, Gillett and Thaiday who are leaking talent but just take the soft option so so many times. He doesn't skate by on potential and that's why he'll get the nod over the younger generation too if they think they can just take their talent for a walk. [/QUOTE]
