[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 956054, member: 43875"] Dont agree with Savea, sure great player but we have Cane and Todd, sure Savea carries well but he doesn't offload or link much, when we have Savea at 6 or 8 we lose a genuine lineout option. Savea and cane are both winning turnovers, Todd will too. I also dont like him at 8 while he carries well from the back he's not as confident with the ball at his feet as Read, Read is great at lineout time, Read is the teams attacking restart expert, Savea is not. Cane and Read are dominant taclkers Savea is not to that same level. Savea is a very good defender, but he doesn't stop runners or meet them like Read and Cane can and that is the most important job of the 7 in the big games. Not saying Savea isn't a great player he is. But we have 3 world class 7's and of the 3 Savea is not known for the "dark arts" we associate for 7's, he's better in open play for sure. Moody is a good point easily top 5 but I do think we have very good depth at prop, the guys we have did awesome in super rugby just lacking test experience. Better depth at prop than we do for first five imo :( [/QUOTE]
