Seems nuts that Tratt "isn't wanted".

Sounds like its because we will be playing 3-4-3, so after a RWB who is more attacking than a converted CB.

yes but who on earth will that be other than Fenton? Because we still have no player who plays right back or right wing back as their primary position. If Fenton gets injured, which let's face it is definitely within the realms of possibility, who the hell can play right fullback? Lowry? Fox? People suggested that Gulley was passed on because he was too attacking for a 4 at the back. I hope that's not the case, would look awfully foolish now if that was the case

I assume you're referring to the Gulley who was let go by the Phoenix a few years ago? Even that statement, not by you but by others, I feel is incorrect. The Gulley of the past 2 seasons has more than proven his ability to defend. 

There are two ways to defend, either with a tight shape where player proximity is important, or through individual technique. Particularly when Team Wellington play with a back three, where the left and right sided defenders are given little protection from the players in front of them, Gulley has consistently shown excellent defensive technique.
