Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2494097, member: 1917"] [b]Re: Rumour - Peter Wallace returning to the Panthers?[/b] I don't think Williams is really the answer and I'm not really in the camp to sign him. I am happy to shift Wallace off though, even if I don't think we'll necessarily get a better short term replacement. The reason why is because Pete can still hinder us even if he is the better option -- firstly, his money could prevent us from chasing a real half. Secondly, he will never get dropped. So an unproven player who would otherwise be given a chance won't get it because we have solid but mediocre Pete as an automatic selection. Imagine if instead of having Wallace these past 2 years we were playing Hunt in the halves. He may have turned out to be really good, but that's something we'll never know because we decided to go with 2 years of mediocrity. Of course, Hunt might have been worse, but we'll never really know because we chose the predictability that Wallace offers. Now Ashley Taylor seems to be quite highly rated. It's too early to throw him in yet but come next season or whenever maybe it won't be. If we decide to re-sign Pete because a seemingly better option isn't available then we'll be stuck with Wallace for how many years he re-signs for, potentially at the expense of Taylor getting a chance. Now I'm sure someone will say that if player x really is better he'll get a spot, but before you ask that, ask yourself, do you ever see Griffin dropping Wallace? So yeah, even if there is nobody better available than Wallace right now, that doesn't mean his re-signing can't hurt us. [/QUOTE]
