I think weighing all the risks associated with signing Matt Scott, the positives outweigh the negatives. As mentioned in a previous post I would be looking for the Ben Kennedy effect i.e someone who leads & sets an example with his actions, discipline & character. The last time we saw anything like that was when Danny Buderus retuned to the club, he may not have had the "c" next to his name but he set the example for for everyone to follow, that was the last season we had any success at all & have been lacking inspiration & leadership ever since. Look at Scotts efforts over the last 18 months playing busted, you would never have known it, as he has too much pride in his performance to give less than 100% week in week out as well as on the big stage in the finals & internationals. Playing & training with him, you could only hope some of it would rub off on the young guys who are leaderless at the moment. Just teaching them to play with energy & go forward hard ,scrapping for every meter would be a step in the right direction. He would give them the hard edge they need on the field & it wouldn't hurt that he brings no baggage off the field (scandals) with him. Hopefully our luck gotta change soon & this might be the start. We seriously need a work ethic & will to win instilled into these young blokes & lose the attitude of "maybe next week" .
