[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 508254, member: 43875"] I think the main problem with the weepu selection, and some other selections in the squad is the message it sends out to the players. They are basically saying that being the best and having the right attitude is not enough. Plain luck or being at the right place at the right time helps just as much. There are always a lot of unlucky guys come quad naming time. Elis, Messam, Perenara, Matt Todd, Jason Eaton and a few others top that list. But the Weepu selection really sticks out because on form he's currently 6th or so best 9 in NZ. players who work their arse off to be top of their game and best in their position only to get headed off by fat underachievers must feel robbed. Maybe that's a bit blunt :) [/QUOTE]
