[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 625405, member: 24910"] The problem with Weber is his lack of size. Not that I think think having a small halfback is necessarily a major issue, but the Highlanders already have probably the two smallest NZ halfbacks in Super Rugby. The one things that Frae Wilson brings is a bit of physicality to the halfback position. He is not huge (around 90kg), but is much bigger than Smith and Tanaka, and plays a very different style (he reminds me in some ways of Jimmy Cowan). I'm sure Wilson's more abrasive nature appeals to Joseph (along with the fact he has played for Wellington & NZ Maori - important factors in Highlanders selection these days!). [/QUOTE]
