  If push comes to shove..... i would have to say Inu.
  
  I love Reddy, ultra consistent, low error rate, good team player. However, with Inu, i think he is yet to fulfill his potential.
  And thats what it comes down too. If Inu can find the consistency that Reddy has..... he will be brilliant.
  
  Could we not just have option "C" and keep both of them?! geez! =)

  Neither, really. Decent enough players yes, but when push comes to shove, they can't turn anything on, they can't get the attack going. Sure the storm's defence was freakin brilliant but these two are the reason we lost the GF. Would have been a different story had Tahu been there. Give Hayne, Fui, Mateo, Grothe, Mortimer, Keating the ball and stuff happens. Not with these guys - how many breaks did you see these two make last year? Not many. That said, they're good competent players who run hard and tackle well. It's just their attacking flair lacks so much when you compare it to other teams. We've got good forwards, good halves, great wingers and the world's best fullback. Our centres? That's the problem that needs to be fixed (could we fit Gasnier and Inglis under the salary cap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

    It appears you are a subscriber to the telegraph, i hope it goes well for you.
    
    I didn't say this but a friend of mine put it quite well recently; Reddy always fires at 70% whereas inu fires between 50--90%,
    
    That said I'm going for defensive stability in the side here and picking Reddy.

    I think saying that Reddy and Inu was the reason we lost the Grand Final is drawing a long bow!

      Come on Daneel - everyone here knows that it was Reddy's fault we list the Grand Final.... Or was it Jeff Robson's.... Or Todd Lowrie's??
      
      I guess it's not so clear anymore - could someone please remind me who this week's scapegoat is? ;-)

          I blame muttenchops and the great one as the reason we lost the grand final. Pure and simple, they are both tools!
          
          On the footbal note reddy 100%. Good defensive centre and inu good winger, great winger outside tahu :-)... Grr... I want this off season to be over already
