Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2577951, member: 1899"] Gillett defends mostly on the inside of Hunt while Thaiday roves around a fair bit and takes up the post when Gillett is off IIRC. Safe to say that comparing Gillett to Fensom is a tad off base and a disservice to both players. Both are remarkable players but in the current composition of the Broncos pack I would much rather a player like Gillett who's got the job of being explosive and creating opportunities with nothing but his sheer determination and skill. I agree Queenslander that I would much rather see Parker at lock, with Thaiday right, Gillett left with Glenn on the bench to provide impact. I would start with either Kennedy or Hannant, preferably Kennedy as his value is in absorbing those opening minutes. However, the game has seemingly changed and I'm like a lot of others are still trying to adapt to it so right now, the more mobile pack maybe the way to go. On the topic of statistics, while they can be handy indicators they cannot be used as a sole point of reference since there are so many variables to them. For instance, I recall the media being absolutely flabbergasted that the Sharks couldn't win off the back of Gallen's numbers even when it was clear Gallen was acquiring those numbers at the expense of his teams performance.
