[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 595285, member: 57663"] Don't get me wrong - I'm far from calling him an AB great. He is at best a good AB rookie at the moment (presuming he comes back). And in terms of becoming an AB great, I [I]thin[/I]k I agree with you. You have to put in the time, the hard seasons year in year out, prove you consistency, your commitment and class over the course of time.... The only caveat I have is [B][I]what if [/I][/B]he puts in a couple of unprecedented Lomu like seasons AND plays a massive part in retaining the RWC? Will he go down as an AB great? I think he probably would in most peoples eyes (from watching the Americas cup transpire we all know too well how much Kiwis love a winner!!). The point of this thread really was though, will he go down as a sporting legend? Pretty hard to argue a credible scenario where he wont IMHO. Just how much of a legend he becomes is the question in my books. First step starts with the Grand Final this weekend - should be a cracker of a game!! [/QUOTE]
