[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 508580, member: 44093"] I don't want to gang up on you Larksea but this has been gnawing at me as well. You used to do a fair bit of trumpeting about how great Donald was for the Chiefs/Waikato, and I assumed it was the usual provincial goggles being on (which I have firmly in place when I talk about Manawatu players), but you now have Cruden, who is playing a better season than Donald ever did and you don't even really acknowledge it. And before you blame Sweeney or any other inept 12 Donald had to play inside, and give SBW or the Chiefs forwards credit for Cruden's form this year, just bear in mind Cruden won ITM cup player of the year with Frankie Bryant outside him for most of the season and with one Super 15 starter in the pack (Crosswell). As for the world cup final, people were so stoked with Donald because he didn't stuff up (which is what we were all expecting). He played well in a tough situation, but I still think we would have won if Cruden didn't get injured. [/QUOTE]
