[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 642013, member: 24910"] To be honest Slade's form doesn't surprise me that much. He's always been very talented, the problem has always been his ability to stay on the park. Prior to this season he had played very little rugby for 4-5 years - I think he could be excused for being a bit 'rusty'! He's only shown glimpses of these talents the last few seasons, but he's always had the potential IMO. The reason I mention his goal-kicking is that he has never been a consistent goal-kicker, even before his injuries. He always used to just 'chip' at the ball and didn't possess either accuracy nor distance. He's made some obvious changes in his technique this year. He looks to be following through more, which seems to have granted him more accuracy and distance. He's obviously still firmly behind Carter, Cruden, and Barrett in terms of ABs selection, but he looks to have overtaken Taylor as 4th choice, and will likely be in the training squad named today...
