Sam Harding, poor bugger came along at the same time as Richie and Marty Holah

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.

[Tim]

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?

Anybody mention Craig Wickes?

Yeah Hansen mentioned that one time I think.

[Tim]

@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.

[Tim]

Nicky Allen is often mentioned in these threads.

[Tim]

@nepia Great link player, mediocre defender, gave away a lot of ruck penalties even if he got a lot of turnovers.

Blowers defence was brutal, his workrate we high, and he had real pace. Then he fucked his knee up.

He's probably been there

Aaron Hopa

[Virgil]

Ron Jarden, retired from all rugby at only 26. Scored 145 tries from 134 first class games. Considered the best winger in the world at the time. Gave it away to further his career.
What’s worse he died age only 47

Was thinking the same thing. Kronfeld can't have liked it much either , leaving as soon as he could .
