[QUOTE="james5000, post: 454740, member: 53353"] Slades done well at age grade level as a 10 and he has won a Provincial ***le at 10, he's shown he can control and direct a team at super 15 level. That's more than Piri ever did at 10 I'm not going to say that Piri is a better or worse option than Slade at 10, but he is clearly the best 9 going around. Piri has shown he can direct a team at 9, he's great at directing his forwards around, and he provides good ball service to the back line. Cowan\Ellis-Weepu < Weepu-Slade IMO putting Weepu at 10 is turning a strength in to a weakness. If Slade wasn't capable of playing at 10 why was he ever picked in the squad? Cruden would have been a better option, but thats not going to happen. It really is Slades opportunity to make a name for himself. *Do you really think that coaches can't improve players? [/QUOTE]
