[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 821366, member: 70721"] I remember 'Super' Sid Going, he was kept longer than his use by date but he was great. I remember him being slow but strong. No mention or place for Grant Batty, or Terry Wright or Brian Williams? No mention let alone place for Bruce Robertson? What about Graham Mourie, the man who revolutionised the number 7 role more than any other player revolutionised their positions. He created the modern no.7 No mention of Alan Hewson, John Gallagher or Cullen at full back. Buck was a great captain but he wasn't a great number 8 in my book and he wouldn't have cut it in the modern game. Zinny would have blitzed him and Read is another level. Keith Murdoch or Gary Whetton at lock with Brad Thorne, Retallick on the bench Carl Hayman everyday at prop; when Os Du Randt was asked who was the hardest prop you ever went against he said, "No question, Hayman." Says it all. John Drake at prop, unforgiving and huge. Nod to Billy Bush as well. Michael Jones at 7, yes, [U]The Jones Boy[/U], as he was known when he first appeared, remains the greatest rugby player who ever lived. An absolute phenomenon. Carter at first five? Fair enough. He did ok. [/QUOTE]
