THREE QUESTIONS
1) A bit like saying Greece could do with some financial help but the Highlanders need a quality number 10. Do they stick with Colin Slade and back him that he can get fit by next year?
Or do they go elsewhere?
And is there anyone left on the shelf?
2) Do the two veteran hookers come back again next year?
Or is it wiser to ditch one?
And if so, who should they get rid of?
3) Is it not time for some of these promising Otago players to make the next step into the Highlanders?
There are going to be vacancies in the Highlanders next year. It is time some Otago lads staked their claim.
These 3 Questions were asked in the ODT the other day and i thought i would get TRF thought on them
my thoughts are
1) if there is someone else then snap them up...if not, Sopanga looked more dangerous in the first couple of games than slade has ever in an Highlanders Jersey so would look to him for the future
2) I really want to see coltman (or another, pretty sure there is a young bloke in southland but his name escapes me) get a shot but have no idea at who's expense...Hore and Rutledge both seem unbreakable so dont see a chance to come in as injury cover
3) I will withhold judgment until after th ITM cup, alot of new names are going to get a chance to shine, fingers crossed
