[QUOTE="Helmy, post: 561189, member: 54698"] I honestly think Nonu needs Conrad Smith outside him to do well. He looks good for the ABs, and aside from a shitty attitude, he played well for the Hurricanes, too. Watching his, and other key players', body language last night when the Highlanders self imploded was very telling. Mistakes were being made, yes, but rather than clapping their hands together and trying to rark players up, there were dark looks at those making errors. This led to more blunders and Nonu making the ugliest one of the lot, though I can't see him putting his hand up and being accountable. From the outside looking in, the Nonus and the Hores see themselves as star players in the Super rugby set up and this attitude seems to lead to a group of individuals rather than a team. I recall being at the gym once with a fringe Taranaki player present, when asked by someone what Hore was like, I'm sure I recall him saying something along the lines of 'excellent player, asshole of a person'. Funny how Hammett was the one painted as a villain all those years ago, eh. [/QUOTE]
