[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 400366, member: 43875"] I think we have a great stock of 9's in NZ and they have different strengths and weaknesses. Rather than Ranking them 1-5 it's better to rank different parts of their game compared to each other then assess from there. Like rate them in terms of Defence Passing Speed of clearance play making ability Running Threat kicking/box kick Ability under pressure/with poor service Dicipline people may rate 9's differently depending on what traits they think are most important. For example I haven't been happy with Elis or Cowan's test performances most over the last couple years because their clearance speed has been very poor and IMO that is critical as it affects the space and time players have on attack. Most evedent when Weepu has come off the bench and the whole team seems to have more time and space. Mathewson is better in this area but I dont believe he is very good with poor service and His defence & kicking isn't game as strong as others. [/QUOTE]
