[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 160593"] that's what i think. judge him on his own merits, like other players in the HOF are. For example Rodber got inducted not for being the best ever back rower in history or redefining the position, but for having an impact on the game. We can't not induce some players just because there were other players also very good before them. Does the fact that Johnson and Eales are in the HOF mean we shouldn't nominate any other great locks? for my mind Robinson was a unique runner, devastating in a different way to Cullen. Admittedly i've seen more of him than Cullen, though. I'm too young to really comment on guys like Blanco and JPR Williams, but the fact that there were great players before him does not make Robinson any less deserving of a place. Wairapara's argument simply shows Blanco and Williams also deserve to be inducted. [/QUOTE]
