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

    really? how do you forget this?

    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.

          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.

                                        @mikedogz Cheers for posting that, I was at that game ... the girls we were with (from the local Catholic school) wouldn't shut up about how hot Marc Ellis was.
