[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 316803, member: 24910"] Yeah he did play at first receiver a lot for the Highlanders, however I don't think he was very impressive there - he was solid, but I don't think he made any breaks or really set the backline going. The strongest part of his game is running the ball back in broken play from fullback - at first-five you take that part of his game away. If they want him to be a first-five I think he needs to get a full season at provincial level in the position - though he certainly has the skills to play 10 (similar to Nick Evans). I can see why people would want him to play 10 - we have about 5-6 test quality fullbacks and we only really have one test quality 10. [/QUOTE]
