[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 461777, member: 42683"] Both... Lambie is at his best at inside-center, and we need one since Bosman and Joubert are both only average. I am not a bit Michalak fan but he does bring something different to the mix, to be honest. Is it a good thing? Don't know. The major talent for his position is Guy Cronje (Ross Cronje's twin brother) but he has been struggling with injuries for 2 years and is unlikely to make the switch from College Rovers to the Sharks again. Who else do we have? Bosman can play there, Viljoen, Hoffmann... Enough options. We've had some issues in the past with players being tossed around the backline, including Brent Russell, Brad Barritt and most recently Francois Steyn and Ruan Pienaar. If I remember correctly, we've had the following players filling the Fly-half position in the last 5 years: Stefan Terblanche, Ruan Pienaar, Juan Martin Hernandez, Andy Goode (What's in a name?), Rory Kockott, Francois Steyn, Brad Barritt, Guy Cronje, Ross Cronje, Frederic Michalak, Patrick Lambie, Steve Meyer, Monty Dumond, Butch James, Andre Pretorius, Meyer Bosman, Scott Mathie, Brent Russell and Rudi Keil... And I probably left a couple out because I cannot think of them at the moment. This is ridiculous of course, I agree. But now we have options. I opt for Lambie at inside center while Michalak is around and move him to fly-half once he's gone. [/QUOTE]
