Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2674553, member: 1899"] You're right but consider this. Oates is coming off a pre-season where he spent the majority of it rehabbing a shoulder. When he was able to train, it was revealed that he had been training exclusively in the backs. So he wouldn't have spent that much time working with Milford in defence and would struggle to handle the responsibility given he has to practically defend two positons and be able to make sound judgements. I'm sure he'll handle it fine early, but as he feels fatigued, I'm sure he'll start making poor decisions and it will cost the team. Now, I don't think he should be ruled out altogether. What I'm saying is that we're going to need a specialist there, not only to protect Milford but get the most out of Oates who has been integral to getting the Broncos sets started and can be an absolute weapon on the fringes.
