[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 625465, member: 45355"] i find this really interesting, you talk up some guys and down others when i would say having watched every highlanders game 90% of our players are of comparable level (2 smiths the exception) i dont think a back line of parker, burligh, emery or a loose trio of tj dixon and hardie would have done much worse..they would have a different game plan of course even guys like manu and sopanga have been out through injury more than they have played since joining, i dont think they are suddenly indispensable now they are fit I have a very similar feeling to 2011, looks like a team of average super rugby players, very few stand outs, but you know the old saying, a champion team will beat a team of champions heard an interview with Joseph, he admitted they thought the culture and team spirit they had built up in 11 and 12 could handle the big personalities of the signing we made in 2013...but it didn't and the team culture was ruined by these guys. That is what they have been working to get back to [/QUOTE]
