@snowy said in Michael Jones:
Kronfeld might sneak onto to said mountain but he does have some serious competition from previous decades. One of the Boomers will let us know I'm sure.
Hell yes.
Waka Nathan, John Graham, Kevin Eveleigh, Ken Stewart....
Has to be noted that Nathan and Graham played (I think) much or all of their careers while the ABs still played left and right flankers - we were a bit slow to recognize and adapt to the superior blind and open system.

There was a Ba Bas match or a possible v probables in 91 , Jones was 7 playing against NZ top players and he in the first half played at a level of freakyness - I remember commentators saying they had never seen anything like it.
I watched many a 80's Auckland match and Jones was the man, he also was part of the most in sync loose forward trio with AJ and Zinny. Ahead of them a brutal front 5.
MJ was a freak - someone mentioned height but he was a main lineout target even before lifting due to his athleticism.
I agree with the ...I would pay to watch Jones but want McCaw in a WC final quote
