[QUOTE="admartian, post: 510195, member: 38996"] You're right Nick, the NZRU is as much if not moreso to blame in all of this. I think McAlister was ruined by NH rugby (no offense). I think it's good for forwards and all, but backs generally get accustomed to it (depending on the team I suppose) and lose their creativity. McAlister was given what - two seasons to try and figure it out? Granted, he had some injuries, but I think he felt that the game he played up North was more suited to how he felt, rather than what was better for his game. For Nick Evans, I think he felt (and probably still feels) a bit hurt by the NZRU. Oh well, we have quality young talent in both positions to not worry for now. [/QUOTE]
