[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 525746, member: 24910"] [I]If [/I]we managed to secure Nonu, and [I]if[/I] Sopoaga and Slade stayed fit (both big 'ifs') I think we could be genuine ***le contenders. Burleigh was pretty solid for us last season, but his defense was a bit weak at times, an he was didn't really offer that much on attack. He was a good distributor (as unlike Treeby he actually passed the ball!), and a excellent second kicking option, but I think we would function much better with a bigger attacking threat in the 12 jersey (I quite like the sound of a Slade/Sopoaga combo if we can't get Nonu). Not sure if Burleigh is signed with anyone for next season (as he was only picked up by the Highlanders on a temporary contract) - I would imagine we would pick him up again if we don't get Nonu (or possibly even if we do get Nonu)...
