[QUOTE="fcukernaut, post: 103265"] I believe Mauger played centre for a little bit when Merhts was around with Carter at second-five. However, his skill set is far more suited for second five. I was simply just pointing out possible player scenarios. Brett will eventually have to learn how to play second five unless they feel he is going to become the All Black first-five. So that might be the best way to go, by bringing Brett on off the bench into second-five so he can learn how to handle it once Mauger leaves after the World Cup. As for Tipoki I fully believe he is capable of playing centre. He has the footwork and he's certainly big and quick enough, so I don't really see the problem. Ralph is a bum. I'm sick of him. He's slow and doesn't finish as well as he used to a few years ago, all he can do now is play some defence and be an "experienced leader". Hamilton has looked extremely dangerous attacking from the back, well, anytime with the ball in hand for that matter and certainly is no slouch on defence either. So in my opinion it is a no brainer decision. Brent Ward has looked a little lost out there this year, I don't know why but he certainly doesn't look that dangerous whether it be at wing or fullback. What do you make of this Ben Franks kid? I think he's played played alright, but I think Crockett is a better player and far more mobile. At the very least Canterbury will be a deep team, and will be quite entertaining. [/QUOTE]
