[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 914486, member: 45355"] i think the point was bench warmers are easier to lure away than starters, if you can get Mo'unga to the point where he's contesting for a start then he's got a reason to stay and fight. at the moment it kind of appears to me as if there are a couple of positions where no matter how good to play you'll never change the selector minds...so why stay? my train of thought we have the best player in the world (barrett)...but he's been outplayed in his position (by Mo'unga in the final - BIG generalisation i admit) and what he does so amazingly ISN'T strictly exclusively a first five skill set and he could do many of the same things from 15....so lets just check it out, Smith has nothing to prove so we don't NEED for him to keep proving it not arguing with a single word of that. but nothing you've said is a reason NOT to try it, it cold be amazing [/QUOTE]
