[QUOTE="TRF Mr Fish, post: 605322, member: 20892"] How could you consider Howlett to be a better winger than Lomu? How many tries did you see Howlett create...? Just because he was the list player in the back line doesn't mean he should get the plaudits for placing down the ball. I mean I just watched a highlights package for Howlett on Youtube, and about 95% of the tries were catch and run five or ten metres and dot the ball down. Howlett benefited from being part of one of the most dominant All Blacks eras in history, one where they were able to score tries simply by outflanking the opposition (notice that the other main wingers from his time, Gear, Rokocoko and Sivivatu, all had particularly high strike rates, and all managed to score multiple braces of tries in matches).
