Quote: Dirty Pretty Thing "Sorry, going to have to disagree with you on this one. If you watch Webb when the opposition make a break you will notice how aware he is. Not only is he lining up his man but he directs the cover defence as to which support runners to take.
I would take Lauititi over Kirke / Pitts any day of the week. You can criticise him for being injury prone, however IMO you can't fault his commitment when he does get on the pitch. Some things may not come off for him but I'd rather have him offering the potential of something rather than Kirke offering very little. Ali has played half the game Kirke has and has made more tackle busts, more offloads and scored more tries than Kirke has. I would also guess that despite his declien over recent years, opposition teams are still more fearful of Ali than they ever have been of Kirke which helps create space for others.'"
Would you still have picked Webb? Ok so he got a pass out for a well worked try, but his poor defence and positioning is letting the side down! Kyle managed to run further than him! I'll admit that his second half performance was much better, but I'd prefer a little more consistancy at full back.
