Its interesting to note that the majority of the backs are British whereas the majority of the forwards are Antipodean.

Mm, I'd dispute some of that, eyes was pretty good when we had him on loan, he contributed to keeping us up in 97, inexplicably being frozen out at Leeds, iirc.
Paul hulme(spit) was a handy mid season addition in 96 but looked well off the pace in 97,
Mccurrie, well I would agree he was hit n miss but he was up there as one of the best forwards in the league for 99 and 00 when we got some weight off him.
He was the forerunner of bmm now. |

Kevin Campion, I know he never played but had a big rep, only likes to play in warm weather! apparently ![]()
Nah, the kevin champion thing has been debunked many times over, the weather has nothing to do with it, but still gets pedaled

Putting Mitch Dodds in there seems harsh, terrible injury saw him miss most of the season. Hence for me it'd be bit like putting Brian Carney on the wing.  |

It's all subject.
As for Brian Carney...well he was a small winger but was fearless so always backed himself...but even if his performance on the pitch warrant a selection, what he did for our club after doesn't.

Well Rocket didn't come with glitter and I think he was chiselling with blunt tools.
Thought about him but he can't displace Roberts.

No, him that shall not be named was the definition of flop. Thank goodness he decided to go back to Aus as we could have been stuck with him for 2 more years.

One name nobody has mentioned who got a fair bit of stick in his time here was Allan Hunte. He was a big signing when we got him in 99 - GB centre, probably the biggest signing we had made since Davies in 93.
He did score quite a lot of tries for us and despite getting on a bit in age, he was still very fit and very quick. He got stick because people thought he was lazy and he had an attitude of not seeming to take things too seriously which didn't go down well given the angst of the time he was here.
Still, I don't think he would be in a flop team and I put him ahead of the likes of Nikau, Rauhihi who had a handful of good games but were more obvious underwhelmers. Hunte had his flaws but he contributed to a cutting edge which the later DVDV team had which I am still envious of with our current team: a team with Hunte and Toa always had tries and excitement in it.
