[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 688866, member: 57076"] @[URL="http://www.therugbyforum.com/member.php?u=38640"]TRF_nickdnz[/URL] alright thanks. Makes sense...and yeah nobody I'm sure doubts Cruden and Barrett are world class. But I'd say Barrett is very perfectible, and Cruden's ceiling isn't very far from now and in hindsight isn't vertiginous. It's interesting because as a guy who's always been a spectator of the Dan Carter show with his excellence ball in hand; I do know he's a good passer, defender and goal kicker for sure; but I wouldn't have thought about making the comment his tactical kicking was exceptional. I know he's good there but the rest is overwhelming and we forget he's also so fundamentally sound. He just gathered everything, everything you want from a FH. He's just such a rare, fine coincidence of so many things...there won't be another guy like him in a long, long time. And while he's ridiculously unlucky with WC's, he's been very fortunate to be able to show what he can do on one of the biggest stages, the B&I Lions challenge, that second test has immortalized him forever and I say he's fortunate because if not for such opportunities people would criticize him for never showing what he could do when the spotlight's the brightest. Anyways, that's Dan Carter...we'll see what he's still got in his belleh this w-e. [/QUOTE]
