Message: [QUOTE="Rally Towel, post: 2618659, member: 8569"] It's an interesting question, Marty. You've presented a compelling argument for his inclusion as a winger (the strength of his runs being largely due to minimal defensive work bring on the wing) in prior threads. While I don't dispute your reasoning, I think it's also pretty apparent he lacks some polish in his play on the wing. His aerial ability, and finishing ability are both letting him down (which are crucial to his success in that position). If he can improve these facets of his game, I'll happily endorse his continued presence on the wing. If he can't, I'd be in favour of using him as a second row edge running wrecking ball (ala Manu Ma'u or T Rex). He may tire more quickly, but he doesn't need to play 80. He could still provide a lot of value playing to his strengths over a shorter time period. In either case, we'd be mad not to keep him. He's been great for us, willing, and able. Just a case of figuring out which position better takes advantage of his strength and minimises the consequences of his shortcomings. [/QUOTE]
