            <p>I couldn't agree more.  He was always raw, but now he is still raw after a few years at Super and AB level.</p>

            <p>Remember when he left the Blues with an attitude problem, JK was lambasted.  Maybe he wasn't totally wrong after all.</p>

                  <p>There's two issues with Fekitoa that the coaches need to rectify - when nothing is on he tries for the outside break and his ball security in the tackle must be the worst in New Zealand.</p>

                    <p>Well, he wasn't picked behind Ngatai, Crotty, Fekitoa and Tamanivalu, so I'd say getting a starting spot would constitute a semi-bolt</p>
