Kronfelds strength was his support play, look at all the great tries we scored in that era. He was either the guy scoring the try or on the shoulder of the guy who scored in the end. He followed Jonah every where he rampaged in the 95 RWC
Some call it great support, others call it try poaching and glory seeking
It's only great if you create a chance to finish a move that is stopped. (which he often did)

@canefan shit, i trust you over me on this, but my impression of Savea's career was that he started not so good and didn't look like ever stepping up, then suddenly he was fucking amazing, and then his form fell off a cliff.
Yeah, 2012 he was raw as and I was a bigger advocate for Hosea gear playing as our "power" winger (especially after he KO's Keith Earls in Hamilton). 2013 and 2014, I think there are strong arguments that Savea was our best performing All Black outside of Read, given both impact on individual matches and consistency across matches.

When savea came from I think being world under 20s player of the year or something then played for the canes and sucked and then start of the next season didn't suck. I remember him making the crusaders look like school kids one game near the start of the season. Both on d and attack

Def. McCaw in 2011 and, being an old bugger, BeeGee Williams in 1970 was the equal of Jonah in 1995. Jeff Wilson was pretty special in most years he played in as well
It's hard to leave out players like Michael Jones, Bruce Robinson, Steve McDowell and Colin Meads who were consistently better than any other player year on year
