    @Crucial Thought Marsh was really good in 97 and 98, and should've made the ABs in 1998.

    I can buy that argument.
    Still doesn't beat out Bruce Robertson though.

    Edit: actually he played at 12 for CM

    I like your teams. Not so sure about your 10s. We might yet get to lay claim to Beaver if Waikato don't.

    I am embarrassed to have left out the Irish centre.

    Nicky Allen might have only played 4 games for CM but he also only played 10 for Auckland as well.
    His career was so short I barely remember it, but he proved himself very quickly. Some say he would have been a great and writers add him in their top AB lists regularly. Hard to tell whether his sad early death increased his reputation.

    Good call.
    A different player to Marsh but both good.

    Played 7 as an international for Tonga. Doesn't get past Brain as an 8.

    Brain was a great.

    Disgraceful lack of respect for Lindsay Raki.

    Even if he didn't have much respect for pokie machine funds staying in the correct accounts...

    No lack of respect at all. Was a good servant to the union for many a season. For a long time was the only rep from my school as well.
    Never really in the frame for higher honours though.
    Would have been a solid super player in today's age but not much more.

    @Crucial How do you guys rate Bob Lendrum (a really long servant for Counties) and GK Taylor who played well inside Bruce Robertson if my memory serves me right, also Brett Codlin at fullback?

    Because no one wants him there over Marsh or Aki?
    Not a lot in it really except selecting a midfield likely to get the ball to Jonah

    he's better then both of those players.

    I find the general attitude to Alatini on here a bit strange. Around the turn of the century he was the absolute fucking man.
