[QUOTE="TheSaffycen, post: 631880, member: 71135"] That is a very fair point it's just that someone said that a couple of years ago Crane use too make the big carries and make meters, it's just not true. I just don't rate him, it's just down too opinion. I know that Croft and Kitchener are the sort of guys you want out wide to score tries. I'm just saying that in the back row you want a guy who makes the big carries through the middle. The stats tell me that in a team that has Croft in it he should be making more tackles and turning over the ball more which he don't do, Joubert played in a team that has Burger and Brown in it so he doesn't have to make as many tackles but only makes 4 less ( I know he played more but like 3 games). So my point is that he doesn't make big carries, doesn't make many more tackles than an 8 who is more of a running 8 and makes less turnovers, and for these reasons I just don't rate him. [/QUOTE]
