[QUOTE="RedCard, post: 760677, member: 56891"] Totally agree but Gats doesn't like the risks that comes with Hook. We have all seen quite a few intercepts taken by the opposition when Hook is trying to throw a miss-pass. I think that is what many see as the downside which outways the breaks he often makes. Fiji we saw Hook break the line 5 times I think and every single one resulted in turnover or lost ball. Against Ireland in the warm matches he was fairly poor although he was behind a beaten pack and surrounded by rookies as it was experimental. This hasn't helped him and he rarely gets a good run of top notch perfomances going. He can be hit and miss which results in a love him or hate him scenario debate that is never ending in Wales. I think Hook is another one of those "could have been an all time Great" type of player that it never quite happens for. Just like another centre named Orange Gav. Wasted talent we never got to see in their full potential for whatever reasons. I would personally have Hook before Morgan right now if I was picking. [/QUOTE]
