[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 804410, member: 45355"] Just re fekitoa as a highlanders fan i've seen him at his devistating best right though to average at best. I'm generally always happy to see him starting though...he hasn't done anywhere near as much line breaking over the last 2 season as he did in his first with us. Personally i believe thats because he's being marked a lot better, I've notcied (assuming the opposition has a 10 that can takle) that opposition halfback have started running a deeper defensive line...looking for fekitoa to break the first takle. This has given sopanga inside and naholo / osbourne outside just a little bit more space. drawing those tacklers can be just as valuable as breaking the line all that is without even talking about his attacking defence..yes its a work in progress...but when he does make "that tackle", it generally kills a move in its tracks [/QUOTE]
