[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 625455, member: 43875"] Benji is a very intelligent and hard working player, because of that I believe the technical aspect of the code change would be sorted in due time. I was more worried he wasn't physically going to have the attributes required to make an impact. But he is only 28 and showed really good speed and ability to change direction. he was able to hurry up the opposition defense and take gaps. bit harsh on some of those highlanders backs, Buckman did a fine job and will develop into a fine super rugby player. Doesn't have the all out size and speed of many wingers at this level but he makes up for that by being very reliable and having a wide range of skills and good vision. I think all the others have proved they can mix it at this level. Heck the Highlanders would have been better off playing burleigh instead of Nonu last season. And at times Stanley was one of the better players with the force. I dont think parker is far behind Sopoanga, I think in many ways parker is the equal or better but just lacks the size and so needs a bit more looking after on defense. The positive is he takes full advantage of his small size on attack. I think all those guys in the highlanders squad have potential and have proved they can work at this level. The highlanders really just need a few of those guys to kick it up a gear. [/QUOTE]
