[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 531524, member: 24910"] As awesome as Ben Smith is I think they would be better playing Aaron Smith at halfback, rather than make Ben play in two positions (though he was a halfback at high school.... is there anything that man can't so?). EDIT: bobbilycious beat me to it :) Thomson hasn't been confirmed yet - I suspect we will hear about him within the next few weeks. If he does leave, and we manage to secure Thorn I would imagine Hoeata would start at 6, with Bekhuis and Thorn as the locks. TH prop is a toss-up between Fia and King - King has the experience and a great work-rate, but I would start Fia who looked good in his limited chances last season. It will certainly be a different challenge for the Highlanders this season, as there will be huge public expectation for them to do well. It was probably easier for them in previous seasons when they had far more average teams, and the public were happy if they could pull off the odd upset win! [/QUOTE]
