Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2438464, member: 1847"] On the Gillett & Taylor question for Game 3, I believe it's possible Gillett got the nod because of his perceived agility in defence over Taylor. I felt Mal might have been a bit worried by Taylor's lateral speed and general defence in the decider. In any case, I didn't think Gillett would get many minutes. Maybe he's being given experience towards the next series. Taylor seemed seriously distracted in the games he played, but played ok. Gillett, well as Coxy said, he's raw, but it also seems to me that no-one knows what to do with him, unlike Taylor who is mostly running wide in very obvious set plays in the game plan. I have yet to see the Broncos develop and use Gillett's huge (but raw and often undisciplined) talents. I have yet to see set plays specifically involving him. It's like he's expected to come on and just be brilliant all on his own, and when he's not, he tries too hard to be special, and ends up making stupid decisions. Then, he's simply savaged instead of getting something constructive said, other than, "oh, he's an impact player, leave him on the bench." On Luke Lewis, I agree - should be rated higher. I thought he made an immediate impact, did some great things as posted above and capped it all off with a huge, almost fatal error. Like so many have said, NSW ought to focus on football instead of whinging, trying to be too clever by half, like Farah's Fumble, and playing with a chip on their shoulder. I also agree with a poster who said that a Hasler coached Blues would be a far better team than under Stuart. [/QUOTE]
