<p>Both Crockett and Moody have played minutes at tighthead for Canterbury in the NPC.</p>

<p>I think we could cover an emergency if we had to with those 2.</p>

<p>Personally, I'd probably feel more comfortable with Faumuina being the loosehead cover (with another tighthead in the squad) than Crockett/Moody being the tighthead cover a (particularly once Laulala is back).</p> -

<p>Red Beard, Bart and guys like that were all over it. Said he lacked the "extras" that were needed that Williams, Boric etc had.</p> -

<p>Agree, was really responding to the comment that we needed 6 props. I think 5 in the squad is adequate.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd only look to use either of those guys in an emergency</p> -

<p>Yeah nah Yeah bro. It's true. They were both so ashamed they got something wrong on the interweb that they left in disgrace, never to be heard from again.</p> -

I thought Bart did too. I don't recall any talk about him lacking "those little extras". <br><br>
MN5 did you mean " People in my head"? -

<p>I mentioned it in passing. You douches are making a thing of it.</p>

<p>I spoke to RB on the phone the other day. He didn't say to say hi to anyone, maybe he really has moved on. It's tough cos now we just have to judge who is a good prop by guesswork.</p> -
<p>Dixon has to be a shoe in for the All Blacks now. His style of game would suit the All Blacks as well. He has a combination of a hard nosed physical type like Kaino, but probaly offers more than an aging Kaino on attack you would have to say.</p>

<p>They will take 2 opensides, Read and Kaino. Personally, I think Luatua has to make it. It's tempting to take Dixon but Vito is still around. I would probably find a spot for Dixon but I don't think it is clear cut.</p> -

Vito is surely out of the picture - a guy already signed for overseas who has been mailing it in for most of Super Rugby.<br><br>
I'm a Luatua and Blues fan but i'm not sure he 'has' to make it over Dixon. Dixon is playing bloody well and can cover 6, lock and 8. -
<p>Vito is out of the picture. Dixon has shown in last years Super Rugby semi and final that he has what it takes and has backed it up this season</p>
