    Nobodys mentioned Ron Cribb. I wonder why?

    Career killed off by spiteful domehead on a journey wasn't one of canefan's criteria?

    Running sideways and giving away lots of stupid penalties probably had more to do with it.

    Pfft, I guess you were happy with him being replaced by Sam Broomhall.

    Kipper ahead of Ridge.

    It's crazy how many good players we lost to league in a couple of years.

    Someone will probably come up with better picks for 7, 10 (McAlister takes his rightful place at 12 then), and 11.

    Frank Halal. He actually made the All Blacks.

    He's muslim now?

    @tim Yep, we were like the Welsh in that era. Even the next rung down like Halligan had a cracking career, and then there were the guys like Crossan who went as well.

    @nepia I loved John Schuster back then. My brother and I would yell "Johnny the Shoe" at the TV like the couple of little idiots we were.

    For a while it looked like he was edging Richie, then 2 seconds later - bang Richie is a legend. Josh Blackie was unlucky not to be capped in that era.

    Aside from the pre Holah/McCaw period, we have produced an amazing crop of sevens in the professional era. Damn Blowers doing his knee.

    @nepia I remember reading that Canterbury and Otago had some gentlemans agreement not to poach each others schoolboys and Otago signed Harding so Canterbury got Richie .

    You mean the Kronfeld era?

    is that some really rancid bait or did you not rate Josh? 😉

    @nepia I don't rate him, but I was meaning when we were playing Taine Randell at 7.

    Why do you hate Hastings so much? 😉 TBF, I thought Blowers was overrated.

    I think Randell was just a fill in? But wasn't it Robertson who was the actual guy in the gap.
