Message: [QUOTE="Locky’s Left Boot, post: 3059150, member: 9358"] I had the same view considering the amount he was supposedly in the cap for and the fact we had to look at upgrading and resigning some players coming off contract this year. In hindsight though, we were better off trying to find Gillett a new home and not McGuire, although the Cowboys had made a big offer for McGuire so that probably played a part but Gillett is cooked. Even pre neck injury he barely offers anything in attack anymore and when he does get put into a hole every once in a while he drops it more often than not. It’s only his defense and kick pressure that covered up his lack of attack. He is just a tackling workhorse these days and probably offers as much as Macca could at lock. The neck injury has taken out some of his defensive starch out too which is understandable but has taken away the only great part of game. And now every week it’s either a groin or a back niggling injury now. We are already throwing $700k down the drain with Bird on the side lines. I reckon the only reason Gillett hasn’t been lambasted as much as Macca and Boyd is because he doesn’t play in the spine and the fact he played Origin this year papers over what he is actually providing.
