    <p>Horrell played really well in his first game back from injury (v Canes) when he suddenly had to replace Ngatai. He can cover several positions and is great player. I don't understand why he has not been picked for an important game like this, if he is indeed not injured. Picking an unexperienced player like Vaka is a big risk IMO.</p>

    <p>Because he's been shit since he was playing midfield with SBW. His form fell off a cliff, then he got hurt, and he's done fuck all since. He's pretty far from a secured selection these days. </p>

    <p>I wouldn't go as far as saying he is shit but I have never seen him as any more than solid (and not in even in the Snakey or Crotty level of this category)</p>

    <p>Great player to have in your Super squad. Won't let you down and can step in when and where needed. But hardly dynamic. </p>

    <p>well, i thought that in 12 and 13, but since then? I've seen more stinkers than solid performances. But yes, good squadie as he covers a number of spots, and can play at the level required, but i don't take it as a surprise when he is omitted </p>

    <p>You have always such a shit way of commenting on players. Horrell is far from shit; just plagued by injuries the last two seasons and probably his versatility hasn't done him any favours.</p>

    <p>You would prefer a worse player because you don't like the girth of a player?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Ben T has always been a good team man and his fatness didn't effect other players so it seems silly to want a guy who can't prop and does nothing around the field to be there instead of him.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>As for Horrell, he's been nowhere near as shit as M4L is making out, but he's definitely yesterdays man - good to have in the squad but I doubt he'll be thrown in at finals time like a few years ago.</p>

    <p>Girth? no!  Attitude, Yes!</p>

    <p>Apparently from the stories coming from the camp (and published on here, WTW can repost them) he was far from a good team man.</p>

    <p>Horrell was surprisingly excellent in the midfield for those couple of years, but he's been ordinary since then. I don't care if it's because he's been injured, or slipped back from his peak form, the point is it's not anywhere near a surprise he isn't an automatic selection for any game, let alone one of this magnitude. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Ben T was a rock in the scrum, provided a decent level of mongrel (and got right up the crusaders' nose), and was surprisingly good around the track. My only beef with him was the number of really dumb penalties he gave away every game. Right now, i could live with those penalties considering our current tighthead offers neither scrummaging nor anything in open play. </p>

    <p>Nah, fuck that. If Ben T were still around, he'd be our first choice tighthead with Laulala out and we'd have to put up with his stupid shit all season. Yamashita may not be up to it but he wouldn't even be in the squad if Laulala hadn't gone down and wouldn't be in the 23 if Moli hadn't gone down too. I'd rather have an inept player around for a handful of games a season than a complete liability like Ben T around for the full season.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Sad thing is I liked Ben T for his first couple of seasons but by the end, I couldn't wait to see him fuck off. The two biggest games he played last year, the Highlanders quarter and the Ranfurly Shield game, he was fucking shit, continually flopping over rucks and handing the opposition easy three points.</p>

    <p>It's probably jealousy on my part but I don't care. It was just frustrating to watch such a awful waste of talent.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I have no doubt that if he had the mind to compliment his skill set and power, he would have been starting tighthead for the AB's</p>
