[QUOTE="Kiwi_, post: 739135, member: 71618"] Slades solid and a "utility player", although I love Lima and really back his selection, I think going with Slade is the best option, given his experience and versatility. It's only fair he's awarded a spot over Lima because of what he's given and what he has still yet to give, he fills a very important role for us that sometimes gets overlooked. SBW and Dagg should not go, period. I can't express enough how little these two offer, especially in the big games when going gets tough. Nonu last night again proved how valuable he is and how little SBW does. He doesn't run at the line, he shys away from contact, he goes into tackles simply looking to draw the defender and offload it, not to burst the line and make metres, he's a passengers and a p*ssy. We don't need specialized locks, Vito and Kaino can fill that role fine and it really improves our breakdown when either Whitelock or Retallick aren't playing. The only specialized lock I'd take other than those 2 would be Patrick Tuipulotu, but he's injured. Our wings is a real migraine, it's such an unbelievable headache of a selection between Skudder, Piutau and Naholo. Naholo has been injured so I think that rules him out, especially considering how awesome Nehe has been. What a revelation he is, but I'm not surprised given all his qualities. The only blemish on last night performance was Woodcock. Goodes and Crockett would be the best options here, but I think he views Goodes like he does Broadhurst, Super 15 level and not test match quality, which is sad, because Tony is completely out off depth now.
