[QUOTE="d1e1m, post: 399052, member: 40554"] As a Crusaders fan, I'll debate the inclusion of Whitelock :P. In all seriousness, he's a very hard-working and solid flank but the reason I think most don't care for him is the lack of a rugby brain, especially apparent when he's playing next to Read and McCaw and now Todd. That and I still blame him for the loss to the Highlanders. Flynn has been very consistent in turning out good performances this year with him being injury-free, good to see him on a run. He's not as bulky as Mealamu but currently more well-liked than Hore. Lynn has been constant for Landers but at best a solid player. Manu on the other hand, is someone I've been a big fan of, this guy always leaves everything on the field. Work rate is huge, puts in big hits and lots of turnovers. Has had a problem with butterfingers but overall, a top-quality player for me. I've yet to see a Canes player impress me this season, which is very sad considering how much raw talent there is. Fritz Lee is a beast of a man, all there is too say. I would be putting Payne there over Roks, any time I've watched Blues, Payne has been their leader among the backs for me. [/QUOTE]
