        giving some thought to this...just on wiki and none of our records (most tries etc) has been set since 2001...so other than Bender there might not be to many recent players

                @Duluth id be happy with that, big randell fan, Dunedin RFC old boy, remember him coming back to the club rooms for a beer when playing at higher levels

                partially slipped my mind, partially my personal lean towards underated dudes

                @Gunner was a hard choice for me, i just love Hemopo. once again, we've been blessed with a few really good locks, annoyed i straight up forgot Maling, i was working off a list on wiki...historically maling was one of the first on the list for me

                    Damn, some weird recency bias in this thread - Evans over Randell, Hunt bracketed with Kronfeld?????
                    No John Timu?

                      @Nepia i just didn't know where to play timu without being out of position, goldie and bender are/were world class and Cooke is our record try scorer both total and in a season, well underated

                      hunt probably just on my mind...might edit to avoid too much shit

                        Timu over Cooke I'd say (there's a reason Timu was an AB) but they're both from Hawkes Bay anyway so I'm happy with either. 😉

                                @Nepia There must be a few other Otago players who drove through Hawkes. 😉

                                  As good as they are they don't quite meet my selection criteria.

                                      TBH, I've been at parties where lots of them have turned up, but I am sticking to players from the Bay, this isn't Tasman we're talking about.

                                          i should declare my bias, Paul Cooke and John leslie coached one of my high school teams, thay flatted together and had the whole team over for fish and chips etc, that was pretty cool for a 13 year old

                                              His reserves are awesome, I'm looking forward to see the other 14 starting with Smith.

                                                A squad of 37 seems to be cheating too.

                                                    He's good enough. Would beat the Chiefs anyway.

                                                        It's a silly software thing. When you add a number with a . after it it forces a numbered list and counts upwards

                                                          @Smudge Worked that time. I think Duluth said something about putting a "." after numbers that screwed it up?
