[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 666951, member: 57076"] well yeah I'm a big fan myself but what you're saying is theory: "an on-form", "at his best". I'm talking about what actually went down in reality. I agree with the qualities you've listed, and I'd add he's got a real running game and sees spaces opening and very good steps too, but really he hasn't been all that great consistently. Sometimes it was injuries, sometimes it's just inconsistency. During long stretches, he would be invisible in Racing, I'd even forget he was there sometimes. He's also a "utility back" and basically plays everything but winger. Another big plus. And he can do flyhalf, center and fullback well, not just a quick temporary filler. You talk about Top 14 flyhalves, right now I've got Giteau ahead of him for sure, and Trinh-Duc too as another. Everybody talks about how good he was back then, 2007...they call him "the Magician" back home. Ah fk it, I'm gonna throw this in here... [media=youtube]a_wsF5VGGtg[/media] [/QUOTE]
