[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 755518, member: 39190"] That's pretty it for me as well. I've said from the start FdP is our most important player. Not least for the fact that Pienaar and Paige are our back-ups in arguably the most key position for SA teams in general (pun unintended). You can always give me a positive rep? I might be a mod but that doens't mean I'm a robot and don't appreciate some positive reinforcement.. You've said that before and I don't know what we focus on differently because I'd say the exact opposite. In my view his only good game in the last 2 years was vs the world XV. From there on he has looked robotic in his play, been 50/50 in his kicking and gradually slower in his arrival and distribution from the base. Also, his defense has been poor. I can't remember which of the first RC games it was but he did not complete 1 single tackle. Not a single successful tackle in 4 attempts. That's being a liability. And its not as if he adds anything on attack or ITO kicking. I suspect the only reason he is there is because of the caps he recieved back when he was the Tiger Woods of rugby and supposedly turns into a footballer in NH conditions. [/QUOTE]
