[QUOTE="welshglory, post: 526876, member: 38673"] I think that's a bit unfair on McCabe. First of all he's not fast enough to be an international winger, especially for a side like Australia. I don't think he has the game to play fullback at that level either, his kicking game is much too poor. He's a centre or nothing else at this level, and imo he's the 3rd best 12 you have behind O'Connor and Tapuai. What other options do you realistically have at the moment? At least he straightens the line, tackles very well and is regarded as a leader. I agree about Horne though, he doesn't bring anything to the team. I think you should give Dennis some time, he hasn't stood out but most 6's don't. You need that sort of guy who will get stuck in. As for Barnes... well he isn't up to it anymore. Those bangs to the head have really messed him up and he will never be an attacking threat again. Although to be fair he was pretty solid at fullback in the last game. [/QUOTE]
