[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 454764, member: 38640"] 1. When did Slade prove he's a capable 10 this year? He played like two or three games for the Highlanders in between broken jaws. 2. Weepu has shown plenty at 10. He has looked like he can control a game very well and very smoothly at 10, even at the All Blacks level. In fairness, he's played just as many first class games at 10 as Slade has, over several ITM Cups and a few S14/15 games. Slade has only played 10 consistantly during one ITM Cup, the rest of the time he has been moved around to make way for Carter/Brett. I don't think anyone is saying that Slade should not have a future at 10 for the All Blacks, it's just now does not seem like the right time to give him a shot, seeing as he's looked poor against Japan and Canada.
