[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1052380, member: 65365"] And several people ive heard say hes better iff the bench; but heres the thing, the majority of his appearances iff the bench have been at openside flanker. Its not that hes coming iff the bench that makes him successful, its that hes playing openside. And you also hear it more recently (last few years) that he should be on the bench, because over the last few tears hes predominantly started at 8 or 6, and its always been a marginal call whether he is better than other options in those positions, in reality he has been picked because they want the best players in the field. He plays amazingly at openside fir the all blacks and the canes, so foster and hansen simply dont thunk they can leave him out if the team, despite the fact hes not amazing in other positions. And now cane isnt there, theyre still not playing him at seven. But there is nothing mire dalton can have dine to earn his spot, so in retrospect im glad in a way that he has been given the chance. I hope ardie has an amazing game at 8, but im not banking on it. [/QUOTE]
