[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 437361, member: 38640"] I think your Gear call is right on the money. You have Cory Jane, Zac Guildford, Mils Muliaina and Israel Dagg in the squad. Now I'd say Jane and Dagg both can break the line well, usually slipping through a gap, but why I think Hosea Gear would have fit in so well with the side, is that when he hits the gap hard, he's likely to break clean through. I even think Rokocoko fits in well in this role. I'm just left feelling that all our outside backs play a too similar game, where as in Australia you have James O'Connor, Kurley Beale and Drew Mitchell who are all very quick players, but you have Ioane who can hit the line hard and burn them that way. I just feel we need one big line breaking outside back. I'm not going to criticise Guildford's game except to say that if Gear played that way in any of his games, he'd have been out in a heart beat. So pleased Vito had a big game. If Kieran Read is out (and god I hope that isn't the case) I think Vito is the next best thing. [/QUOTE]
