Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2270241, member: 1808"] For me its concerning that with both Berrigan and Hunt now gone people pushing for a 4 man forward bench are relying on what can be regarded as 3 creative players in the side that doesn't leave much room for problems during a match(and those saying that injuries aren't likely haven't considered the amount of the injuries Lockyer at his age is starting to rack up), Sure Glenn and Gillett could slot into say 5/8th but I wouldn't regard either as having the creativity required to provide the necessary direction(and while I wouldn't regard Berrigan a playmaker he still would offer more then either Glenn and Gillett would at 5/8th or hooker) that when circumstances come about are needed and lets be honest here, you lose Lockyer during a match and you don't have a player like Smith or Hunt to come into the side, your putting a lot of pressure on the shoulders of Wallace and McCollough to get us home which could prove very costly in a season like the one we are going to face. Having said that I don't entirely have a problem with a 4 man forward(one being a utility) bench, I see advantages and disadvantages in both instances, perhaps if we had someone at fullback who played like Karmichael Hunt did then I would tend to agree with a 4 man forward bench, is there anyone who can fill that role? Perhaps Corey Norman? [/QUOTE]
