Totally different type of player, and I wasn't talking about an overall level of ability. Ablett has pace, power, runs good lines, breaks tackles. I am, in short, a fan.

What he doesn't have up his sleeve, however, is a lot of tricks.

If we want a br, I would take Larne Patrick over Chan every day of the week and twice on Sunday. However I'd take Kirmond everyday of the week and thrice on Sundays.

All the names mentioned so far are just more of what we have or a waste of a salary. We need a game breaking second rower but the way the game is coached these days those players don't exist so much. The only name I could think of would be Tony Williams, but there is probably more chance of me getting a run out rather than him...

If we see Achurch as taking over from JJB, Patrick is both young and provides that 'impact' we'd be looking for from a bench SR in terms of his hard running.

Been a fan of Patrick for a while, always hits the line at warp speed.
