[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 200951"] Well I have watched Carlos since he came on he scene AGAINST Auckland in the early 90's.....and he would be in the same class as Gareth Edwards if he had just a little bit more pace and especially acceleration. Apart from that he has always been a First Five with great show boating skills which when on song can produce some amazing results....but when he is off it is all downhill. Therefore he is very much like David Campese. Like Campese did our Spencer needs very good players around him to keep the team afloat and to give him the platform to produce his moments of magic that will WORK. He is not a match winner....he is the guy who helps the real match winners do their stuff. This is the problem because if he stuffs up then the match winners in the team will be on the back foot and they will lose...probably badly as well. When the Blues won in 2003 they had a pack that was extremely hungry and backs who were on fire with Mils in his prime and Gear and Rokocoko beginning to find their feet...and they had the match winner Caucaunibuca doing his stuff. Carlos did his usual risky stuff and the team were good enough to finish it off. [/QUOTE]
