How good is he, my SH friends? What are his strengths and weaknesses? How has he faired this season for the Chiefs?

Lavea isn't the 5th best Fly Half in the country.

I've always found him average. He plays consistantly decent, but has no x-factor or brilliance. He's a player that you could always tell would never be an All Black.
Isn't mcintyre like 25 or 26?Originally posted by Ripper@May 21 2006, 07:42 PM

Gopperth for a start is much better and should be ranked along side Evans.. and players like McIntyre and Ellison are both young and have shown flashes of brillance, I would rather see MacDonald play 10 for us again then see Lavea in Black.
He has never played a test. That doesn't deserve to be called an All Black if you ask me.Originally posted by rc_souljah+May 21 2006, 08:11 PM--><!--QuoteBegin-Serge...he's already been an All Black... [/b]@May 21 2006, 02:29 PM

You can have him back if you want we didnt even need him when we signed him and i we only did bcoz he carved Wellington up in one game, hasnt realy played that much rugby since coming up here always seems to be injured.Originally posted by Candyman@May 22 2006, 11:52 PM
Wellington(Ben herring)
Yes that is true but he only got noticed when he played for southland its like every decent player that southland either aquires or is born and bred here gets snapped up by these bigger name provinces.Originally posted by dobrien7@May 24 2006, 11:30 AM
Plus he's from Otago, just played for Southland. You can add to that Luke Andrews, Steve Jackson and David Hill.
The others were actually born or lived here.
Yes i totally agree with ya dude with these other teams in it and the salary cap it will be great i mean its already happening look at rico gear playing for nelson bays i know its only so he can play for the crusaders but he went to a div 2 team so he could.Originally posted by All_Blacks_Hurricanes_Lions_Fan@May 24 2006, 07:43 PM
I can see it stopping the poaching with most of the top 2nd div teams in the top comp.It will be really great seeing the non top 5 teams becoming stronger.
