[QUOTE="melon, post: 134503"] Did you know garet thomas is Wales all-time top try scorer ????.....obviously not....this guy is skilled veteran player. He led his country to a grand slam in 2005. He won the Heinekin cup with Toulouse before becoming captain of the British Lions. You see I picked 3 diffrent styles at Fullback...when you build a squad you cant have a stack of the same types of players. If youre a coach on a team you have to be able to bring in certain players for certain situations in order to have impact on the game. If you want an attacking fullback that does a lot of playmaking and attack...you put in Nacewa. As a coach if you bring in garet thomas...you get a defensive player who can make stops at the defense....a leader on the field. If want a more conservative approach than you go with Percy. percy is always calm under pressure..... his kicking always serves a purpose and hardley aimlessly kicks. hes a top goal kicker...has tons of experience....solid in defense and an all around solid fullback...thats why he is gonna be in the world cup for south Africa. my point is I chose three diffrent impact players. Get it !! [/b][/quote] I know exactly what he has done, possibly even more so than you, for all you know I love the bloke and he's my favourite player. But you see, you are detailing what he [i]has[/i] done. Not what he [i]is[/i] doing which would warrant placing in the World's top 3 fullbacks at the moment. He's past his best and at the moment is not in the top 3 in any facets of the game. He used to be as the stats prove, but not anymore. [/QUOTE]
