[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 678315, member: 24910"] Wow, that is disappointing for Canes fans. Curtis is a big strong wing (though there are plenty of player his size or larger playing on the wing these days), but lacks any genuine pace, and is a complete liability on defense. If he receives a contract ahead of someone like Milner-Skudder, who is a substantially better both in attack and defense (and can cover both wing and fullback), it would a travesty. From what I've heard Polwart is in line for a full Chiefs contract this season. He perhaps lacks a bit of size, but he certainly plays hard, and I've been impressed with the fact he has cut out many of the unnecessary penalties that plagued his game in the past. Axtens is an option too, and I wonder whether they will look at giving Nick Crosswell another shot? He's not the most exciting player, but he is versatile and can do solid job if required. [/QUOTE]
