Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2458307, member: 1764"] My 2c worth: 1. Hoffman is not a pea heart. He had his confidence shattered this season, and that impacted his effort late in the season. Him coming out and saying that is courage, not weakness. It'd be weakness to lie to everyone, including himself, and say "I gave it everything I had". The first step to fixing a problem is acknowledging it. 2. Taylor is a fairweather hero. When the going is good, he's awesome. When it gets tough, he goes MIA. He needs to swallow a can or two of cement and NTFU. He's Dane Carlaw mark 2 - built like Tarzan crossbred with the Hulk, but plays like Jane crossbred with Urkel. He should be terrorising teams week in, week out, but it's only the weaker teams he excels against. He's too easily intimidated. He also eats too many pies. 3. I think Hook has a tough decision to make with how to use Gillett and Thaiday in 2013. Thaiday likes to think of himself as a wide running damaging back rower, but the reality is, his hands are shithouse. Gillett is a natural ball player who can also run. He struggled in 2012 IMO from trying too hard to show how good he is, and with his moving around the team (including QLD) he didn't get a feel for where he "belongs". IMO, his best position is right fringe, and he's best used off the bench when the defence is starting to tire. So I'd be using Thaiday to start on the right fringe. Come off after 20-25 minutes for Gillett, who stays on for the remainder. Thaiday becomes part of the prop rotation. [/QUOTE]
