Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3364468, member: 9052"] I think the tries were different Coates had fresh air in front of him and barely any cover defence... Cobbo had to deal with cover defence. I think a more similar representation was the Nofo try... he gets it with cover screaming across at him, but he recognises the inside defence is coming too hard, so he slams on the brakes to send the defender flying past him and strolls over for an easy try. Just because Coates did the big front flip with zero pressure on him doesnt make it a spectacular try... he did the exact same thing in round 1 last year and almost broke his neck. Coates has the makings of a good outside back, but he has a lot of things to iron out first... most notably his game awareness If any team can fix his shortcomings it's Melbourne. I'm not all that salty about him leaving because I think right now Cobbo is already better and i think we would've overspent trying to keep Coates... possibly costing us Cobbo. I dont think Coates comes back to us... to me it seems more likely that he heads to GC. He seems more of a Coast kid than other kids that have come from PBC or Keebra Park [/QUOTE]
