[QUOTE="Flux, post: 235917"] You're right, take Jerry out of any team and he'll be missed. However, if Victor Vito can fulfill his potential in the 15 man game I'm not too worried. That's a big [i]if[/i] though. Flyhalf will presumably go to Willie Ripia. Personally, I don't think he's as good as some would like to think. Watching him play for Taranaki this season I don't think he did much to set the world alight. In saying that, he was playing behind a very average Taranaki forward pack and I thought that our backline was the best it had looked in years. Go figure. I'd like to think he was the reason our backline looked better this year and that with a better forward pack he'll do better. I suppose time will tell. However, I think Jayden Hayward, who played at second five for Taranaki, will end up being a better player. He's actually a flyhalf, but I'm not sure if he wants to revert back there or stick to where he's made his name so to speak. If the Hurricanes end up having to push Weepu to Flyhalf then we're in deep trouble. Like I said, if we had a decent flyhalf I think we could actually run away with the competition. [/QUOTE]
