Personally, I prefer Slattery and Burger to Jeffery and Teague.

Or Kronfeld? The only time I have wondered if someone had an identical twin on the pitch, for me personally the best 7 Tigers have ever had....tin hat being put on!

My abiding memory is him running to the next breakdown putting his own shoulder back into joint.
I’d put him on a par with Neil Back slightly different types of player

I actually rate Sam Cane more than McCaw, who’s standout talents was lasting so long in the game despite being a 7 (like George Smith) and being the referee’s best pal.
