[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 621446, member: 24910"] As far as I'm aware Volavola hasn't had any experience at 12. He made a good impact at times last season from the bench with his elusive running, but struggled a bit in his sole start (vs the Brumbies). I'm not sure about him in the midfield as his defense looked a bit suspect at times last season, and I think the Waratahs need a harder running option in the midfield to bail out Beale/Foley when required. I'm not a big fan of Horne but he is a strong defender and can get his team over the advantage line. One of the problems the Waratahs have is that Beale, Foley, and Volavola all play a very similar style. They are all elusive runners but all seem to play mainly on instinct - I'm not sure any of them have the ability to control the game from the 10 jersey. Personally I think all three are better suited to fullback than 10. If Beale is on form (a big if!) he will be a key for the Waratahs, as at his best he is world class. However over the last few years he has been very inconsistent.... [/QUOTE]
