Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 2322410, member: 2021"] Maybe, maybe not fact is without Wallace we have struggled in the past even when he's not individually at his best. It's not the same as Micheals firstly because Wallace isn't a massive liability with a huge X saying target me on his back and a halfback doesn't have to be as good "individually" as a centre, it's more team based. Wallace is there to do give the dirty work so Lockyer can play at his best and judging by this year with him and how we went last year without him I think he's definitely very important to our team. I also think Wallace is the best halfback defensively in the competition and without going too much into Lockyer's defence it's hard to argue that Lockyer hasn't looked a lot better in defence since we got Wallace, that's not a coincidence for me. Lockyer enjoys playing outside Wallace it shows in his game. It's also worth noting that since Wallace has come to us we look a much better team when it counts, 2008 and 2009 are two years where we were good in the finals, almost every year before that(bar 06) we have been making up the numbers in the finals and playing crap. Having a genuine halfback outside Lockyer has made a world of difference especially in the big games because Lockyer doesn't have do everything and that makes a massive difference which most don't notice. I don't think he's the best ever nor do I think he is amazing but he is a very solid player who offers a lot to our team yet he is being made out like he's some reserve grade player who is lucky to have made first grade. There's only about 5 halfbacks in the competition who would do a better job for us. [/QUOTE]
