[QUOTE="TRF Mr Fish, post: 465740, member: 20892"] He needs to tighten up - it's as simple as that. He has all the handling skills you could possibly want from a player (back or forward), but his primary role isn't passing or kicking. Too often he ends up just hanging out in the backline, instead of actually performing his core tasks. I have been huge fans of both Bourke and Latimer in the past, and I never rated Waldrom, but he's been phenomenal in the last two years. I don't think Latimer adds anything to the loose forward trio. He's not a genuine fetcher any more, but also isn't particularly physical (like Kaino), so he's really just an extra player to pick and go on the odd occasion. I'm hoping Cane will be starting most of the matches come the tail end of the season, but I think we'll see Waldrom starting a lot of games to begin with. Lee and Messam may not necessarily play all their rugby at 8, but they perform just as well there as 'specialists', so that's kind of irrelevant. [/QUOTE]
