Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2089026, member: 1808"] The problem with Michaels from a wingers perspective is that he isn't a finisher and this is reflected in the low amount of tries and linebreaks achieved this season, his more a player you utilise to put your wingers into positions to take advantage of opportunities (better utilised as a ballplayer and defensively, not as a finisher which is a wingers job first and formost), in a foot race his not going to trouble a lot of the faster wingers and fullbacks in the competition. With Folau joining and Hodges in the other centre spot, my preference is for wingers who are more likely to take advantage of opportunities created by their centres and factors to consider in that is definately speed and linebreaking ability, something I feel Kemp and Boyd offer more. I'm not saying Michaels isn't a decent enough option on the wing, but to get the most out of him you really have to utilise him in the centres, for me his wasted on the wing because his better utilised elsewhere. It should also be noted on average Boyd makes more metres in every run, makes on average more linebreaks per game and has scored more tries this season. [/QUOTE]
