[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 919871, member: 12190"] Whilst shields hasn't blown me away either, he 100% needs more time. I think he had a pretty good game against SA. At 11/0 he was one of few forwards to not miss a tackle and carried the 2nd most metres in the pack. He can do better though and warrants more time. Thing is, rightly or wrongly his selection happened and now that he's picked he should get the same treatment as everyone else who gets picked, and that means not dropping him after a few appearances just because he hasn't been tearing it up. After all, he's come into a side who're basically playing pretty poorly, and is expected to stand out above others, all whilst having played only a handful of games in the northern hemisphere. Tough brief, no? [/QUOTE]
