[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 518289, member: 43400"] Yes, from a Crusaders point of view, perhaps 6 would be a better long term move for Ritchie, but, as the last few seasons have shown, you really need four or five good loose forwards, getting regular game time, as the seasons are so long that one player cannot be expected to start all matches, and still maintain good form or go through injury free ... so Ritchie is likely to split his time between 6,7, & 8 anyhow. As for the AB's Vito, and your guy .... what's his name ... oh yeah, Messam :) .... or even Brad Shields are likely to occupy the blind side flankers jersey over the next few seasons ... Thomson's a possibility too, although he's over 30 now, and we might not get as many years service out of him [/QUOTE]
