Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2158493, member: 1764"] I just have different selection preferences for fullback than Hammo and others. I don't want an electrifying individual attacking player with no defensive capability. The best fullback I've ever seen is Darren Lockyer. Brilliant ball runner, brilliant ball player, brilliant kicker, unmatched positional play in defence and even a strong last line tackler (see 2000 Grand Final for evidence of this). Slater isn't a patch on him. Hunt isn't a patch on him. There is only one Darren Lockyer, and the current one is better suited at five-eighth utilising his attacking prowess and football mind. Not as quick and not as strong as he was back then. Hunt - can and does chime into the attacking line well, does his job beautifully on set plays, has a crisp passing game and can be an option kicker if desired - won't beat players for speed, and won't score a double chip kick try - well positioned defensively, never makes a mistake on a high ball, and runs the kick returns back hard and fast to centre field, giving momentum Slater - chimes into the backline adequately but can't pass to save himself - the pass to Williams was the best I've ever seen him manage - could do something out of nothing, run length of field or something, and has sheer speed - can't kick (selfish kicks aside) - has a brain explosion in him Personally I'd rather Slater's attacking abilities utilised on the wing where his brain explosions will be less severe. Give me Hunt in the 1 any day of the week. - [/QUOTE]
