[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 455211, member: 24910"] While there is no doubt that the effectiveness of the rest of the backline will be lessened with Carter gone, the backline suddenly won't suddenly become impotent (you are clearly not suggesting this, but I've heard many people imply this). Colin Slade actually has a similar style of play as Carter does - he is just not in Carters league. He doesn't need to to put Nonu into a gap everytime he gets the ball - Nonu often is at his best when he has space to move. I'm more worried about Slade ability to drive the team around the park - he does this well on occasions but struggles at other times, his ability to cope with pressure, and (perhaps most importantly) the fact he is not a proven international goal-kicker (in fact he's not really a proven goal-kicker at any level). In saying all that, I'd (just) prefer to have him start ahead of Weepu (and Cruden). [/QUOTE]
