[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 736708, member: 59145"] To be perfectly honest I don't think Brussow offers as much as our other options. As far as I can remember he made one or two steals, and gave away one penalty. Someone like Marcell Coetzee easily makes a steal or two every game while offering just as much defensively, and more in terms of ball carrying. The days when HB made 4 or 5 steals a game are over, and they have been since the rules around the breakdown were changed (the daylight rule). Therefore there is no reason to include him, Flouw and Vermulen are good enough fetchers in there own right without being one-dimensional, if you add BdP and Coetzee to the mix the breakdown is more than covered without including him. I'm glad he's back, we may need him as an option, but I don't think he's first choice. [/QUOTE]
