[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 399055, member: 24910"] Agree with most of the players you have list Larksea. I think George Whitelock is having a good season; I wouldn't go as far as to suggest he has been as impressive as Todd though. Whitelock's running game has been more impressive this season than in previous years, and I think blindside flanker is a position that really suits him. Nasi Manu has improved as the season has gone on, but over the last few weeks he has started dropping off a lot of tackles again (as he did at the start of the season). Hopefully the bye next week will refresh him. Another Highlanders player I will mention is Josh Bekhuis, whose play has been so impressive he has kept Tom Donnelly out of the starting lineup. Hoeata has been equally as impressive, but the media seem to have caught onto his strong form in recent weeks, so he may not qualify for this list. Craig Clarke has been a bit of an unsung hero for Chiefs in my opinion, as was Nathan White before he was injured. Peter Saili and Jarred Payne are the only other ones I would mention for the Blues. I've been particularly impressed with the way Saili has become far more consistent this year. [/QUOTE]
