Can't have. See my quote.

Are you calling me a jerk?

No way jose.



Were you calling Stirlingshire Saint one ?

yes cos he was behaving like one.

Henare was a real flare player but didn't own a watch and would go walkabout. What a guy though. There are very few real characteur players and we've had quite a few with Henare and Dessie, both made from the same mould.

Only comparison with Dessie is that he was exciting going forward, got the crowd on their feet. Dessie had a lot more going for him and his record for Leigh the Wire and GB shows that. Don't think Henare is in the same league IMO.



Unfortunately Henare let himself go and his career at the top flight was so short.

i remember getting his autograph when i seen him staggerin out of the jolly tanner bladdered, started having a pass about with us, legend, remember him once getting a nose bleed he ran that fast

when he went missing from warrington he moved to arply street in town my m8 had a flat on the same street and i knew richie anyway we used to go for mini games of rugby and when hes stood in front of you he could easly send you one way and shoot off the other from stood still he had amazing pace. i knew him very well. i remember being in his house one time and it was when nigel vagana just signed for us and he was there it was crazy

Richard henare.





what next a thread on Rick Thackery..

Good lord, the passing of time really has rose-tinted a few peoples' memories. He wasn't that good, or even close.

yet people will remember him! for his pace and entertaining rugby.

I remember Kevin Penny for both of those things.
