Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2423685, member: 1847"] Yes to that - and the extra bit of creativity in attack was so welcome to see. We are going to need it against a team like Melbourne. I can't see any reason at all to interchange Macca unless his game falls apart. I honestly believe that in the matches to date, the momentum stopped when he was benched and the other sides took advantage of that. And I will re-start the argument again now by saying I still think the team looks sharper with Gillett in the run-on side. The team looks more mobile in attack and defence in the crucial first 20 minutes as the games against the Dragons and Tigers showed. Last night, the first 15-20 minutes were ordinary. His impact off the bench last night was obvious, yes - 2 superb plays including the offload of the season, and I am arguing that he would have done that if he was on the field from the start. In fact, if he needs to be used more and more in set plays. On top of that, he is always looking to support the ball carrier, and cover in defence. No one else does that like Gillett, so far at least. Also, the more I look at Parker's play - which is excellent, the more I think of prop forward, not back rower. I am also suggesting that despite the great metres Thaiday makes, where is the support? Am I missing something or are most of Thaiday's runs one out? [/QUOTE]
