spencer is not much of a player, i have never rated him at all. he has one good game out of about 5 where mehrts was always consistant.
and now we have dan carter, he is always consistant, with a good consistant backup in either mcdonald(dont hurt me) and mcalister.
i dont think spencer would even get into the second team bench.
You truly need to join AA. McDonald is the largest pile of **** since Caleb Ralph, the fact you rated McDonald ahead of Nick Evans shows your rugby knowledge... or lack of. Didnt you watch the Tri Nations? Two weeks in a row McDonald almost lost us the Tri Nations and it was McAlister who bailed us out.
Spencer would still make the Blues, ship Lavea to Canterbury, they seem to be in love with medicore backs there, see McDonald, Ralph, Hamilton e.t.c, put McAlister at 12 and Spencer at 10. Read em and Weep. McAlister will be at Inside Centre for the AB's anyway, thats where he plays his best, gives him more space to use his acceleration and his attacking skills which IMO are on par, if not slightly better then Carters (he has more pace and better acceleration).
