[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 813028, member: 70721"] I didn't see much of Phipps, it was all one way traffic all day. On Piutau, his early departure was a tragedy. Dang is being rewarded for sticking around. Pita would be my choice over Dagg any day. On Crotty; yeah, big performance against a woeful Aussie, but he is taking his chances and 'growing' into the role. He reminds me a little of Aaron Mauger who racked up 46 caps. Maybe he is destined to be that kind of player for the AB's. He's a sort of continuity player. He is not slow to shuffle the ball on and he's not slow. Hansen likes his dependability and cool head. Nothing wrong with those attributes in a vacancy left by Nonu and the great Conrad Smith. Fekitoa, like Nonu when he started, is a slow burner but he hasn't done anything wrong. He has quite a lot of caps but remember many of those were for 5 minutes at the end of a game. His problem is that Moala, when he gets another chance, may shine so brightly that Fekitoa gets pushed into the shade of the bench. [/QUOTE]
