QUIZ ALERT #2
Name the 38 halfbacks? If you can pick where they are in the order then an extra virtual chocolate fish for you.
I’ll get things started with a couple of hints:
1 - Finlay Christie
I'm thinking that Tahuriorangi was before him and Drummond and Weber before that.

In order of last picked first, Christie is number 1

@chris-b Now Kahn did reach peak performance when he moved to the Shield Snorters, however he was already playing for Samoa by then so can’t really be included in the best AB 9 discussion.
He's in the coulda, woulda, shoulda discussion - a bit like Robbie and Alan Hewson.
Injustices that are not forgotten.
(Actually, Kahn's AB prospects were largely farked by Robbie preferring Andy Ellis - something I agreed with at the time).
