i was here to pile in and call you idiots because Cory had a blissfull but short career
he played 55 fucking tests!!
Cory was there to catch high kicks and palm dudes off, not run in tries.

I’m sure Cory Jane got more tries than that but the stats don’t lie.
He only scored multiple tries (2 vs SA and 3 vs Arg) in a test twice.
I wouldn't have thought that NMS had that many test tries given how short his career was (13 tests).

not meaning to hijack the thread too much but was also surprised how MANY Ben Smith had, considering the large gap he had after his first test, 84...bloody legend

also, Joey Roks in those early years was so fucking great to watch. and 21 tries after 14 games is frankly ridiculous
Roks, Cullen and Jordan is an early career try scoring back three dream team.

Apparently @Bones marked him in a club game once.

Three amazing tries against Samoa then somehow fluking four easy run ins vs Scotland in two tests definitely inflate stats somewhat.

One of the greatest ever ABs.
Our best ever fullback along with Cullen
Complete player. -

He had a pretty tough go after that test against Samoa (which TBF back then wasn't the try glut it would be now) - the might of Scotland, then 7 tests against the Boks and Oz with 5 of them being away.

You're on drugs. I've never played the game before. I would have been way too fast for him back then anyway.

My mistake. Must have been another ferner. Apologies.

I wasn't allowed to play rugby. Being a strapping 38kg when I hit college, I was deemed one of the fastest at school and was banned.

Complete player.@Nepia will obviously disagree with you there.

Complete player.I reckon Ben Smith should've been the World Rugby Player of the year at some point.
For a while, he played whole seasons barely making an error.

Complete player.See I thought he was more dangerous as a winger than fullback because of the way he used the sideline to his advantage.
Quite liked his work as a centre too but only really saw it when Snakey was rested for that 2013 EOYT.
Class player and smart (other than that card at the RWC 😉)
