Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2965429, member: 9008"] Tell that to Lockyer and Lewis... Shane Perry says hi too. You can’t make someone something they are not. In process lose the good things they are. Milf is 23. As a dominant half most don’t peak till late 20s. Already lost 4 years of his running peak let’s not throw away next 4 at a mill a year. Maybe when he’s older Milf will be a ball playing 5/8 but 4 years into his apprenticeship he is still just showing ‘promise’ on and off. With KNik have 2 similar trainee running 5/8s essentially who couldn’t organise a chook raffle. As soon as forwards lose any sense of dominance team is lost. While it would be great to have a superstar 7 it just isn’t likely realistic in next few years. Very few quality ones around let alone off contract. Don’t have the cap space for those that would be. Super league might be best option for a ready made one but not sure how much is there and even Widdop took time to handle NRL. Three choices. Get a well rounded and experienced organising halfback or at least a Shane Perry type to tell the team which way to run (in which case need a Shaun Berrigan dynamic hooker I.e KNik) and let Milf be a running (and maybe kicking 5/8) without the organisation role. But Milf isn’t Locky so may not stack up. Or accept Milf is a fullback who is developing his ball playing. Put Bird at 6. Still have halfback issue but in reality strengthens both 1 and 6 positions likely. But more room to play a rookie halfback given everyone else should fit where they are. KNik as bench hooker could be huge. Left field. Bird to 9, KNik to 6, Milf to 1 and find a journeyman 7 or could still give a young bloke a go. Advantage here is Bird should be a strong defender in middle, good out of dummy half and probably more vision than Macca or KNik. [/QUOTE]
