Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2611044, member: 1847"] This is spot on. Gillett is a game breaker and for mine, the good things he has done outweigh his defensive lapses and brain explosions. We focus on him not unfairly 'cos I feel we expect so much from him. As for his defence, I feel the criticism of him is a little harsh and unbalanced. Yes, his game last week was poor, yet I have seen him defend extremely well, making a lot of tackles, and some very good last ditch tackles, as well as some great hits. He does tend to run out of the line too much, but that part of his game had improved until last week. His arm grabs are a worry, yes, and yes, they are a coaching issue - both for Gillett's technique, and his focus. But then there is off loading which cannot be ignored. He and Parker do most of it. For mine, Gillett is an essential member of this side. His strengths far outweigh his weaknesses, and some regular quality ball wouldn't go astray either, or which there is far too little. [/QUOTE]
