Does that mean that Cannerbry think that Ardie > Matt Todd?</p></blockquote>

Have always thought that (except for when I'm winding up a certain canes supporter) -

<p>Can we stop talking about fatialofa as an Ab lock, he hasn't won a lineout all night</p>

<p>We have Kaino/Luatua and Read. Retallick hardly takes lineout ball. Our lineout has been very good this season and you could just as easily blame Coles for the fiasco tonight.</p> -

I don't think fatialofa is half the player Rettalick is, stupid comparison -

<p>I'm just saying a player doesn't have to be good at the lineout to be a lock. I think Retallick is fine in the lineout, Hansen just doesn't use him there.</p> -
<p>So, to be fair, neither Matt Todd or Sam Cane, was playing tonight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So the only person Ardie outplayed was Dan Pryor given he was the highlanders 7 tonight but just maybe Luke Whitelock's and Elliot Dixon's rep takes a bit of a hit because as a trio they were well outplayed by the Sheilds/Ardie/Vito trio tonight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Interesting that some talk up Dixon as a AB but against a similarly talked up AB (Ardie), a guy simply marking time (Vito) and a guy not mentioned in AB contention in 2016 (Brad), in a big game, he didn't stand out at all.</p> -
