[QUOTE="Dizzy, post: 419259, member: 21905"] Have you forgot that Nonu was a wing turned centre?.. He grew up playing on the wing and knows the position very well, and I think you underestimate Nonu's speed. Sure you don't see much of it when hes playing at centre because he just doesn't have the space, but when he does make tackle busts and has space to himself, nobody catches up to him. As for him not having the defensive knowledge to play on the wing, Nonu is a world class player and a wings defensive patterns is not the hardest place to defend. And the way the game is played now it's very very hard to be exposed on defence as all defence lines are quite wide with the quick ruck ball and getting put on the outside is rarely seen, he is a very very very very very safe and sound defender so there is absolutely no problem there and as for the high ball, Hosea Gear is crap under the high ball, with Cory Jane it's 50/50 so I can't see Nonu doing any worse do too bad. You just think about it, having defenders focussing on SBW and also Nonu, there are going to definitely be holes, and providing Nonu could beat almost anybody one on one, I think it's not a bad idea.
