Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3100046, member: 8988"] Kahn on the wing was very good. He only lacked Oates ability to make huge hit ups (understandedly given he's a lot smaller). He constantly puts his body on the line (hence his injury history) and would be a step up on anyone playing there last year (Oates included). All that said we have younger players coming through and the likes of peruse and Oates should be capable of being first grade quality players this year (or they never will). If I was running this side we would be starting farnsworth on one wing from round one, along with either Kahu or Boyd (I still see him as value in the centres with his passing) and ability to read the game. I think this is the year we transition Oates to the second row and depending on his fitness from the preseason, he should either be holding a bench spot or playing in q cup. It might sound rough given the quality performances he has given us in the past, and is still capable of, but I think we are ideally placed this year to allow him to make that transition and delaying it will hurt us in the long run. By years end I can see him starting in the pack if the effort is made now. [/QUOTE]
