[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 692636, member: 45355"] i don't think anyone is claiming Dagg isn't a great talent, all i think is he's become a little use to get the black jersey by default. people seem to think not getting picked for a tour means they'll never play again. It just means go and work at it. I have a lot of respect for slade at the moment (whilst still feeling bitter about paying his salary for three years and not getting a hell of a lot out of it), he was dropped because of lack of form AND serious injury...but he worked hard and at least in some peoples minds is a serious contender...just having that commitment make him a contender in my mind. Its the same thing that makes me love watching Fekitoa and nervous watching SBW. Some guys are so stoked to get that jersey they'll leave a pint of blood on the field....and others look like they want to protect their face The biggest failing i saw in the game was the step, pass...step, pass of the midfield. Both SBW and smith were just shoveling it on without drawing the man or even make any meter's...i think its what lead to so many knock on's, passes were coming before they were expected [/QUOTE]
