[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 387610, member: 43875"] early in 2008 I was laughed off another forum when I suggested Read could become a world class #8 and should be given a chance hehe :) he sure has been a fantastic find for the AB's and could very well become a long term captian if McCaw retires in the next couple of years. no doubt he's much more than the "Throne clone" many people suggested he would be. He's just as hard working and is good at the "**** work" Thorne was praised for but he also has good speed and power as a ball carrier and often comes up with game changing big hits on defence that win critical turnovers. I would have thought Mose Tuiali'i would attract a lot of votes. He was a key figure for the crucaders during a very successful time. I never saw Robertson or Cribb much as I was overseas and didn't follow rugby much at the time but For Robertson one test he played against Australia where he totally dominated really stuck in my mind. I cant remember when it was or the result but everything he did that day was with 110% effort, was really impressive. Likely during the year of the "cantablacks" [/QUOTE]
