[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 827202, member: 70721"] Nah, doesn't work Cooky. Tana always had more steel in him because of his rugby league background. He was more... savage if you like. Fekitoa is never going to work on the wing because he doesn't have the pace that a young Tana had. However, I do see what you are saying. Players can take a long time to come right in a position and we only need to look at Nonu, who was a very frustrating player for a long time because of his attacking development. He spent seasons going on promising runs and then losing our possession by getting isolated. All of a sudden he came right and Bang we had a killer midfield combo at the Canes and in the AB's. Maybe that will happen to Fekitoa if he gets to partner SBW next year. Feki is still learning his trade and centre is a tough position to learn. His defence is good. Defence wins trophies. Trouble is ALB has so many strings to his bow Feki may not get much of a look in. I can't see Hansen discarding him though as he now has a swag of caps under his belt. [/QUOTE]
