[QUOTE="Black Heart, post: 446788, member: 44806"] The only issue I have about people calling out Cruden over Slade is that they're basing the judgment primarily on the ITM Cup. If we were going to do that then surely Stephen Donald should be in the mix. I recall the match against the Wallabies last year where Cruden looked much worst than anything Slade has shown thus far and yet it was Slade who came on to help win back the game... I'm not suggesting Cruden wouldn't be better in this particular situation but it's a bit far fetched to say that Cruden would be able to handle the pressure better after what last year's game showed. The reality is that we simply don't know who the better candidate would be[I] (foresight would suggest Cruden)[/I] Unfortunatly it's far too late to start thinking about it. This was an issue that Henry and his two wise muppets needed to sort out about three years ago. [/QUOTE]
