[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 933567, member: 39240"] On Australia I was only quoting their media and ex players not the bookies. On 13 I think Farrell is a much better 13 offensively as he has better handling skills. You obviously don't rate him like I do but I'd certainly say he isn't much slower but more creative and not massively worst defensively. Addison is a good 13 too. And both offer the bit of creativity. Yes we aren't flooded with options just that in my opinion based on stats and viewing I think as a combination Aki and Henshaw are not international class attacking and you mentioned Addison easier to contain. On looking at stats it seems when we have Aki and Henshaw in centre together we are easy contained based on their stats. And I'm not just basing it on that but my views too. Yes superb defensively, ideal for kick chase game but if we are chasing a game they will not be helpful and that is why I believe as a comvo we would not beat NZ or England with them. Payne was a good runner as 13, Ringrose is a good runner, Farrell is a good line runner as 13 as is Addison. Henshaw and Aki aren't. It's just not a strength of their games as both are superb crash runners. [/QUOTE]
