[QUOTE="InsaneAsylum, post: 521942, member: 13203"] if we have any chance of beating the all blacks we need to change our attitude, it's as simple as that (for starters anyway). part of the problem is that there is no belief that the all blacks can be defeats, and that's before the kickoff. Ben Robinson looked extremely unfit last saturday but he may earn a reprieve with kepu being injured. I honestly can't think of a replacement on that side (i don't really follow props in a LH-TH sense, it all looks the same to me). Moore MUST start, Cooper MUST play 10, Gill MUST play 7, there MUST be a 4-3 bench split. I can't work out wether Simmons or Timani is the lesser of 2 evils. We need to pick the best players in each position, not try to fit the best players into positions. I wish shipperley would get a run too. my hopeful team: robinson? moore alexander/slipper? simmons sharpe dennis/higginb gill higginb/samo genia cooper ioane barnes aac mitchell/shipperley beale likely deans team: robinson tpn alexander/slipper timani sharpe dennis higginb/hooper samo genia barnes/cooper ioane whoknows/barnes/faingaa faingaa/horne aac beale i have a strong opinion that aac is far better at centre than horne or faingaa, faingaa is a decent tackler, horne is just rubbish. it would also be interesting to see gill and hooper play 6 and 7 but I doubt that would happen. deans would be too scared that mccaw and co would have a field day but I'd argue that we have nothing to lose against the ABs.. we are lucky to beat them once a year.
