Haven't opened the link yet but to me it's obviously Cullen, Collins, Umaga and C Smith
four dudes who never won shit in a yellow jersey
TJ Perenara has played 140 times for the Hurricanes, was a key part of the side, pisses blood for them, and actually won something.
Good call.
Is winning the criteria though? Players with a legacy of adding something to the jersey would be mine. Collins and Umaga WERE the Canes in the days of the stadium being packed. Fans sported Jerry's hair-do and wore Umaga dread hats. Kids wanted to be them. I dont see or hear of the same for TJ (but your point is valid) -

He's in the discussion for sure

One player not mentioned here, but included in the article, is Beauden Barrett. Forgotten already?
can't make a Rushmore if you played for someone else in a high profile manner

He still played over 100 games for them.

I agree with your nomination but disagree that your last point should have any bearing on this selection.
So Cullen, Collins, Umaga and TJP for me. Smith, Coles, Ma'a, BB bubbling under.
-
I would of had Beaudy in the top four of this list but because he’s a traitor I will go Cullen, Umaga, Smith & Coles 🙂
Perenara and Collins there or thereabouts aswell.
By the time he finishes his career I think Ardie will be in that top four.
-
Cullen, Collins due their impact, not who has played the most games
Then it becomes tougher Im going Smith and Coles to round out my four with TJP, Maa, BB very close behind..tough to split a few.

Very difficult to only select 4... but I'll go for :
C. Cullen
D. Coles
C. Smith
M. Nonu -

I always like Holwell. A humble hard working guy, wasn't world class but did all the basics well and had a hell of a kick n chase
Totally agree... the bloke always gave it 100%

Losing our first match makes it pretty vital we win this one... so silly starting plodder Prinsep & there's 3 or 4 on the bench that should be in the 15, also a bit risky starting Julian Savea in the midfield.
Be interesting to see how Tuivasa-Sheck goes... Blues have gained a very good power lock in Romano.
