Dagg. BBBR. Would be the two without any debate I'd assume?
That geezer with a mullet too. (I always forget his name) @Stargazer always reminds me of his name though

Bucky? We might have some midfield competition? Matt Cooper. Murdoch Paewai used to carve up for us too. George Konia. If it is opened up to pre NPC none of them would get a look in with McRae and Davis locking up those spots.
Damn, I wish I'd shipped my almanacks over!

Richard Buckman! That's the one.

Not sure @Gunner
George Konia played for Manawatu first ....
But played for Shield Snorters schools before that.
I assume @Gunner is suggesting he's a bad coach and that's why we'd want him coaching the Taniwha?

No no, just that he’s a former Hawkes player but now coaching the Taniwha, so eligible to coach us. Similar logic as your naming of your Otago team...

Ah right, nah, I don't care about coaches.

Lock: I'd have Abbott ahead of Allardice
Loose Forwards: Michael Johnson must be about the best Magpie player never to make it to higher honours (so long as you don't count been selected in Canes squad and never taking the field)
Outside Backs: No-one better than JC. I'd put Dan Kirby on the bench though to come on and kick those 60 metre penalties -

You can't have liked Watts too much, he mostly played 6 for us back in the day.
Also, if we had down votes you'd get two for mention Franks and May in this discussion.
Some of the older players would be: Gordon Falcon, Romana Graham, @Stockcar86 good call on Johnson, Gareth Evans at lock too, Graham Higginson, Horrell of the recent lot, Roger Randle had a few years before being poached by @Hooroo's mob, Ben T if he hasn't already been mentioned, Ken Taylor on the wing, Kaka, Jeff Karika on the flank too - he was an awesome midget, Forster and Pod Turner before they got poached.

@Nepia My Waikato team had ALB and DMac in those positions. The caveat is that both were very young when they played for Waikato so they've been picked on SR and AB form.
Andrew Strawbridge went close at fullback in my team. He's 3rd on the points list BTW, with The Boot 2nd.
-
Now that I have thought a bit more, maybe Paul Cooke or Tony Maidens on the wing?
I agree with @Nepia about Falcon at 8, no-one better in his prime. And also Horrell, even if not homegrown. The only other contender that I can remember who was a great regular 12 was Davis Norman, but that is probably showing my age. I do think that Danny Toala can eclipse them all with the right focus and opportunities
