    @Daffy-Jaffy I like how Howlett was worried that Ralph wouldn't be quick enough to get the ball so ran him and the English defenders down to score the try. 😉

    Camera angle man, and he got checked going through.

    Sometimes forget how good Mils was as a running fullback back in those days.

    I just do (early on-set dementia?), maybe because I compare him with the gold standard Rangi (I'm not @Chris-B) Cullen, and remember him as the solid all round fullback he was more than the attacking dynamo.

    Mils is our 2nd best FB is have seen. Great runner, really good at bringing his wingers in to the game. He's the man. One of my favourite ABs of the past 20 years (probably 2nd behind Kaino)

    I'd probably go Cullen, Kipper, Mils of the ones I've seen.

    Agree with you on Kaino for favourite AB of the last 20 years.

    And beautifully soft, fast hands. The amount of tries he was the last one to put someone away.

    So reliable too, at both ends. Barely made mistakes. And that Franck Bunce temperament.

    Kipper can't compete with Cullen in terms of sheer brilliance (despite being quite brilliant himself) or with Mils in terms of longevity

    Yep, it was like having another play maker out the back, together with the pace of winger and the usual hallmarks of a top notch fullback

    Yeah, and that's why he's second, and I don't generally have longevity as one of my key metrics when picking my favourite/best players.
