It's a fair comment you made. But I really do think out of the highlanders squad that was our best backline we could have put on the park except maybe bringing in Vainikolo.[/QUOTE]
Vainikolo hasnt had a good game in a couple years, dunno why we even
bother to bring him on.
[QUOTE=Luis Garcia]Smith showed tonight why he made the all blacks, deceptively strong and quick.
Dagg = our best player need to hold onto this guy for a few seasons, but with Ellison off he should make the canes unless he's somehow signed with otago then getting loaned back to hawkes bay but i dont know if he is.
I love Smith, but sometimes I think he should come in and do more work. We dont get him enough ball on the outside, and maybe if he came in and did more work we would have more impact in attack.
Dagg is very promising, I think he would choose us again next year since he is a certian starter. He could have gone to the Crusaders this year, but I guess they couldnt promise him the spot.
Sooner they allow the Super 14 franchises to contract their own players, so we dont get that cr*p that is loan back agreements, the better.
And btw was that Colin Hawke as the video ref? If so we were never gonna get a try from him, he hates us.
