found this bit intresting:
Hill said lock was actually his preferred position, but he played pivot at the Storm because it better suited the side.
why doesnt bellamy put cronky in 5/8 and hill lock then?

Where, bench? He's too small for a backrower let alone prop yet too skillful to be left out of the starting team.

Our team structure, best accomodates Scotty at Five Eighth. It works best for our team. And personally, I don't think Dallas is too small to play in the second row. He plays more like one of them anyway. But it's all in hyperthetical, because Scott Hill is the best Five Eighth in the world, and as much as he likes playing at Lock, Bellamy will keep him where it works for the team.

I would like to see him play lock for the blues. He is a strong defender and offers a lot in attack. I don't believe he wasn't chosen before timmins at 5/8 last year.

Man I'd love to see Hill play at Lock for the Storm, have Cronk at 5/8.
2003 vs Parra I think, Bellamy had Geyer at 5/8 and Hill at Lock and it was a awesome attacking game
for about 30 mins, but then Hill re-injured his shoulder if I remeber correctly, but for the time
he was at lock and Geyer was at 5/8 Storm looked awesome they were playing awesome footy,
They had so many more options.
Hill really starts offloading more when he's at lock too, sought of Sonny Bill style, he used to clock up
huge offloads when he played lock.

I remember when hill played lock for australia and he always performed scoring try';s and defending well they would be mad to go past him this series.

Yeah i also think Hill plays alot better at Lock forward. I think he dosent have as much responsibility and he can just turn it on anytime he wants, and like Simo's saying, with cronk on the left attack and orford in the middle and with hill on the right, our attack would be awesome. Would keep the opposition guessing even more.
I remember that game against Parra (when Billy got his first hat-trick) Hill looked real dangerous because all the Parra defenders were worried about Geyer and Orford.
"Better to have Won then Lost, than to have never won at all" Arrogant, but true hahahaha
