[QUOTE="Caitlyn Jenner, post: 860900, member: 74470"] I honestly believe that Perenara is now a better player. Over the last year his form has been something else. A year and a half ago I wouldn't have thought it possible that someone would be able to touch Smith so soon, but his form did drop after 'the incident' and TJ has been consistently superb. That being said, Smith is still a great player and is looking more and more like his old self. He was very good on the weekend. I reckon that he should still the the number one halfback because his game is so vital to the ABs' game. His distribution from the ruck is 2nd to none, which enables us to maintain our trademark high-tempo game and gives Barrett more time to do his thing. On top of that, Perenara is the perfect guy to have coming off the bench later on with his physicality, skill-set and incredible support play. The Smith starting / Perenara off the bench combo is perfect imo. So, I do think that Perenara has, at this point, over taken Smith as the best halfback in NZ and the world, but Smith is right there with him and I still think that he is the right man to have starting.
