[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 194573"] I wan't suggesting he'll be hanging in the NZ Rugby hall of fame any time soon. But it really blew me away just how much he has been a part of. Sure he's been a part of some incredible teams that have no doubt carried some of the areas he has lacked. I was more explaining that I never thought that highly of Caleb Ralph until I realised just how much he has achieved and how long he's stuck around when he clearly reached the peak of his powers and was never going to get back into the AB's. If McAlister had an ounce of that dedication and loyalty then he would have at least lasted until he was 27-28years old after the next WC. McAlister may be the far more gifted player, but his CV isn't as thick as Ralph's just yet. I just thought that maybe for once he deserved sme credit where it was due, rather than the constant barrage of abuse he gets from everyone (Canterbury supporters included, anyone recall the massive banner hanging at Jade one year saying "Caleb Ralph eat D*ck) Harsh stuff considering the guys with the banner were in Red and Black!!
