Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2504119, member: 2221"] As Alec said, Gillett has actually been quite good in the middle in all the games he has played there. He has a good work rate, good ball handling and footwork at the line, which can create good second phase plays with his offloads. In defence, he generally hits hard and is actually quite solid when he isn't isolated against a fast player. He is also quick off the line and is usually splendid in rushing the kicker, which is something he would be able to do more often defending around the ruck. You are however partially right BP. When it comes to our game plan, we do not take anywhere near enough advantage of our forwards qualities, and we need players in the backline to take advantage of it. Norman is not too bad, but his work ethic and speed still leaves a lot to be desired, Wallace is too slow and Prince has also lost his speed. People talk about the Fish or Locke, but if we're going for an injury prone player, I'd much prefer Coote, who not only has an awesome instinct for being at the right place and right time, he has speed, good skills under the high ball both in defence and attack, and a very good kicking game to boot... A coach with cojones, Coote and ideally a guy like Shaun Johnson at five-eight with a disciplined and solid guy like Wallace organising the team would make us contenders! [/QUOTE]
