Message: [QUOTE="Bucking Beads, post: 2283761, member: 2210"] lol [size=7][b]you saying i dont understand league is like me telling Roger Federer he doesnt understand tennis [/b][/size]- its just stupid. im not saying that halfbacks HAVE to be ridiculously creative - but if you have a choice between one who is, and one who isnt, and they can both do the regular stuff as well as each other, youd have to be an idiot to choose the one who isnt creative. i dont care if we dont need a creative halfback RIGHT NOW, read what i said: we ALL know that Lockyer isnt going to be around much longer. its the old Ben Ikin chestnut all over again - we lose a young up and comer because we already have someone (whos old) in that position, then when that person leaves 12 months later we're proper f#$%ed. Why not give Smith some game time to see if he is what we need to replace Lockyer? if he doesnt work out, no harm done. if he does prove to be what we're looking for, we've got a ready replacement for Lockyer when he leaves. im not seeing where the downside of that plan of attack is? if wallace doesnt like it, he can leave and Smith gets a permanent position in first grade. Then we have Ben Hunt coming through to have a shot at the other halves position. win-win. and yes, i would have cooper cronk in a heartbeat. say what you want about him not being creative, but he makes up for it by always knowing what the best play is for the situation, and he can perform those plays with pinpoint accuracy. Wallace doesnt possess the kicking or passing game of Cronk, nor the vision to know what is the best option at the time. Thats why Melbourne are so good - their halfback knows where the ball has to be, and knows how to get it there a multitude of ways. Wallace knows where the ball has to be, but only has the regular old bag of tricks that any decent halfback has to get it there. i know that AT THE MOMENT we are doing fine with Wallace and Lockyer. but think of the bigger picture - Lockyer is on his last legs, and once hes gone we'll be hard up to break the defensive line without a genuine creative playmaker.[/quote:317a93if] What makes you think you no so much about league?? How many eyars have you played?? Did you make it to a huigher level?? Have you ever coached a side?? [/QUOTE]
