[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 446772, member: 44093"] I agree, we've had two games and the chopping and changing is a bit stupid. If SBW is now a midfielder/winger as an impact player, why wouldn't we just take Rene Ranger who can play centre and is a way better winger? Head scratching to say the least. Jane needed way more gametime ahead of a huge game against France even if it is in a rout just get him out there linking up with people for god's sake. Slade is the player I always thought he was, I've always been adament Cruden is better and Slade is proving me right every game. Cruden would've had about 15 linebreaks (slight exaggeration) in that game, Slade had none. I actually could've played the exact game Slade did tonight; shift everything, miss every kick that wasn't in front and give up a try the one time he tried to make something happen (when there was a big overlap outside him). Stuart Barnes made a good point in the post match commentary; Slade just proved that Weepu is our back up 10. If he couldn't play well under zero pressure in that game, he will be hopeless in a big game. [/QUOTE]
