I would rather run into Paul McCabe's shoulders than SBW's. And SBW didn't start his career at Norths like McCabe did.
A younger version of Brian Lima would be good. They don't call him the chiropractor for nothing.

I wouldn't mind any of those gorrillas that play on the wing in the kiwi super 12 sides. They can certainly put of a try and ask questions of the defence when they get the pill.
Danny Lima would be younger than Brian, is that who you are talking about. I doubt Paul McCabe would have a shoulder now after all the dislocations and reconstructions he had.
BTW is Danny still running around in the UK?

Yeh Danny is still running around in ESL somewhere.
The Lima I am talking about is the centre for Western Samoa. This is a story about him:
Islanders lose Brian Lima to injury
Friday, June 18, 2004
Rib-rattling defensive missile Brian Lima has been scratched from the Pacific Islanders' historic rugby union tour with a groin injury, robbing the combined side of its most experienced player.
Lima was yesterday ruled out of the five-match Australasian tour in a major blow ahead of the Islanders' first official Test against Australia on July 3 in Adelaide.
Wellington Hurricanes three-quarter Tane Tu'ipulotu has replaced the Samoan centre in the 26-man squad which opens its tour against a Queensland XV at Ballymore on Sunday.
Lima, renowned as "The Chiropractor" for his bone-crunching defence, was a crowd-pleaser at last year's World Cup and regarded as one of the best centres in the game.
Among a number of signature heavy hits the 32-year-old produced in his fourth World Cup, he pole-axed young South African flyhalf Derick Hougaard at Suncorp Stadium in a tackle that left spectators gasping
Norths tried to sign 5 or 6 years ago when he was much younger but he decided to stay in union as one of the New Zealand teams offered him big money to stay. What I was saying is that manly should try and find a younger version of him somewhere. There must be a few out there just like him.

Is it club policy to also have backs that cannot catch a high ball?
