[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 356201, member: 43875"] there maybe times where Tialata's scrumaging may be a bit better than Owen's but Owens so much better in every other aspect of the game it becomes a no contest IMO. As for gear his workrate is pretty low compared to what we are used to in the AB's with the likes of Sivi, Roks, Guildford and Even much worse than Kahui & Ranger who have had a bit of gametime there this year. But he just has a habit of pulling off x-factor plays. Guildford would be the total opposite, his workrate is through the roof - it's astonishing how much he gets involved in the game for a wing. He seems to follow the ball around everywhere and yet he always seems to be on the spot at the back when a kick needs cleaning up or a tackle needs to be made and for the amount of work he does errors are few and far between. But at the same time guildford seems to lack the cutting edge ability to bust the line or beat players on the outside that Gear has. That's why Sivivatu is the best wing in the world when he's in good form - workrate like Guildford and still awesome at breaking the line and creating something from nothing. I'd still rather have Kahui or Dagg playing on that wing than Gear but he's doing a good job and creating more on attack than Roks has been able to produce. [/QUOTE]
