Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2671684, member: 8215"] I know, WE ALL KNOW ;) But in this case, regardless of whether Bennett would even consider it or not, it's a fair argument. The case for Milford right now persevering at 5/8 is that up until now we've had plenty of competent fullbacks, just a lack of talent in the halves (at least those that are ready for NRL). I'm not saying that Taylor is ready, because I've only made it to one game this season, so have seen effectively nothing of him. But that potentially solves the halves problem. The next stumbling block is that we have a fullback on decent money (arguably very worth it) about to come back, who has won a premiership in that position. That of course is solved by putting him somewhere that is traditionally not a big-dollar position, but one where our team in particular needs safety & finishing ability, as none of our current stocks have both (arguably Kahu, but again, not proven). Hey, it may happen, but likely won't. Bennett may be too stubborn, or he may have complete confidence in Milford. It's a question of whether 1) Boyd, 2) Maranta, 6) Milford, 7) Hunt is outright better, or has a better team dynamic to, 1) Milford, 2) Boyd, 6) Taylor, 7) Hunt. Considering Bennett is staunch on safety and defence, right now, option 1 looks like the way he'd lean. But who knows. Just saying it's a fair point to make. But probably overdone now. [/QUOTE]
