I find it curious that people still fail to see the real purpose behind rookie listing Miller. Read Hardwick's take on Miller in the thread in this forum - He said that Miller has already inspired the group to greater heights during training and has been working with Vickery and Post. It went so far as to say if either of these two have a greatly improved season he would attricute a large proportion of this to Millers teaching. He also mentioned how well he was performing in the HF position. So even before we get onto the insurance argument forget about whether Miller will be there in one, two or 10 years but look to see if he is improving out list and based on what our coach has already said, I would suggest it is an astute pick.
Our last pick is not being left unused. It is simply being left for a young players who trains the house down over the preseason and wins the position. Even if no one was taken at the end of preseason, having a number of raw players training there pants off would push the rest of the squad to work that little bit harder too just to ensure they are not shown up.
