[QUOTE="Scrum Bum, post: 772307, member: 72671"] Rest in peace Jonah. You were my childhood hero growing up, I was still in pre school when you ran over Mike Catt, but my fondest memories of you include you partnering Joeli Vidiri on the wings for Counties (A combination that is hard to best!!) and of course that try against Australia. Jonah redefined the wing position as some famous teammate had said: "there had been guys as big as Jonah before, only difference was that they weren't wingers". Well Jonah had all the physical talent in the world and I was shocked as any other fan of the man when it came to light about his troubles. To see him fail to get any chances with the North Harbour side when he wanted to make the 07 world cup squad was heart breaking. It's so sad that all he wanted to do was be a better father than his own and spend time with his kids, but he was robbed of that. Conversely there is no suffering or pain for him and he can rest easy. RIP Jonah. A big man who made a big impact on the field but a bigger impact off it. :'( [/QUOTE]
