Scotland doesn't warrant the criticism he gets and to say he plays the loose player in defense is incorrect. He always has an opponent, he is just that good at the moment that he reads the ball better than most and manages to lose his opponent to get the footy or offer an option to his team mates.
I too used to live in New York...just didn't realise that the 'wacky tabaccy' was the new drug of choice over there.
Don't get me wrong - If I were on the selection committee - Heath's name would be one of the first pencilled in. However - for the position that he is in circa 2007 - I expect more. Heath Shaw is so damaging out of defence...Lindsay Gilbee did it a couple of seasons ago - Heath Scotland should be doing it now...
...this week - if I were on the selection committee - I'm playing Scotland on the wing. Bower needs senior footy - I don't care if he's not first in line - play him across half back - let's see what he can do...and I'm sure Fev would love to be on the end of more Heath Scotland 'inside 50's'.
