Message: [QUOTE="lyn, post: 2273449, member: 2028"] I watched him last year and was saying the entire time that we should sign him. So glad that we did. For the first half of the year he was playing 5/8 where he was going ok but then moved to lock where he is more suited. He is quick and has great footwork with good ball playing skills for a lock (but not quite good enough for a 5/8 though). Because of this it gives him a bit of versatility, similar to Alex Glenn, so he can cover centre and 5/8 quite well. To top this off he is also a great defender. Just checked his profile and he is a lot bigger than I thought too. 187cm, 99kg. Personally I would have Glenn at centre even though I think hes a much better back rower. I would bring Gillett in to play the role that Glenn did last year off the bench. To me it seems like a much safer option as we get 4 forwards on the bench but still have good versatility to cover the halves, hooker and backs if injuries occur. If Locky goes down then I would reshuffle the backline and move Norman to 5/8 (where he played all last year in U20s) or just put Gillett straight to 5/8 where he has played before also. It's obviously not as good as having Smith or Hunt on the bench but we really need the extra forward. [/QUOTE]
