Lance needs the support in the halves early on while he grows into the role. Ropati has no kicking game, and if the sole reliance was on Lance, who's kicking game is (currently) shaky at best, then i think that would create a few problems. Unless of course Ropo was to suddenly develop a good long kicking game/ability to put in accurate high balls etc. Fien offers a lot in the halves in terms of a kicking game to take the pressure off the halfback, i believe this outweighs his value as a dummy-half runner.
*The Sharks game was enough to convince me that Hohaia has the potential to be a decent halfback, and as a young, homegrown product is preferable to Fien in the 7 jersey. Im not saying Hohaia will be the next Stacey, i just think he's a local boy and should be given a chance to make the jersey his own.
