[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 923220, member: 65365"] II would say the team's role is to score tries. Very few tries are individual tries. but that's all besides the point. even if "u can score tries as well your stock shoots up" were true, it's still hardly a relevant statistic in comparing 8s. i agree that "read's still got it". as for Read more generally, I've always thought he's overrated, but i've also always said he's very good. it's nothing about one game. and i've also said that in this one game, while he didn't perform to the world class level people rate him at, he clearly had handling issues after getting his shoulder injury. don't think Read's role in the team at the moment is to play the running game he used to, so his lack of metres doesn't mean so much. as for best 8 in the game, no. best 8 in new zealand, yes.
