[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 429365, member: 24910"] Really well said. There is no doubt that he has the potential to be a good Super Rugby player, but he does have some glaring weaknesses. The issue is that he hasn't improved these weak areas of his game in his time with Southland / the Highlanders - indeed teams have discovered these weakness, and know how to exploit them. A new environment with new coaches could be exactly the thing he needs to reach his potential. I actually expect that he will turn into a handy player for the Chiefs, but I don't necessarily think he would turn into that player if he stuck with the Highlanders. I agree he needs to concentrate on fullback, as he is currently doing with Southland. His huge punt and counter-attacking ability is a big asset from fullback, but his defense at the back can be a bit of a liability. A back three of Masaga / Nanai-Williams / Robinson would certainly have plenty of attacking potential, but would struggle a lot defensively. [/QUOTE]
