Regan King?
yeah why did he leave just as he appeared to be cracking it? Especially given he's a centre, a position we are rarely stacked at?
Really weak tackler. I remember one of the well connected Waikato posters said he hated any contact work. Probably knew he didn't have a long NZ career ahead of him?

@Duluth Moala was 28. Great player, sadly as he was just about to break in, he'd get injured.
@mariner4life From memory he wasn't offered a Super Rugby contract? He had a few injury problems and was capped too early. We never saw the best of him here.

Stanley Jr
he was superb. But you cna't mix a career as a Doctor with a rugby career any more.

Oops must have mixed him up with someone else
-
@nzzp I thought he had a neck injury or other serious injury...must be thnking of someone else as there is no mention of it

@Duluth cheers, nothing on the brief piece on Wiki and nothing specific on his NZ Rugby profile either (just says at bottom 'career ending' that I missed on first reading)

@ploughboy he has come out as having a gambling addiction. Mainly because he was accused of having ripped people off to fuel it.

Ben Tameifuna, Rory Grice.
That's a name I haven't heard in a while.
Sean Maitland? He's just retired too.
A few years ago, Grice was named best Nr.8 of the Top 14.
Stanley left counting his lucky stars - NZ Herald
