I can remember a lot of days when Shelford was rubbish and same with Henare, so I presume those were the "mornings after" that rubber duckie is referring to

not like what he had thay dont!



also he was one hard bloke i remember when he dove over a player to punch glen tomlinson whilst mark forster was getting batterd on the other side of the pitch by i think it was sonny nickle.

Henare was an exciting player without doubt and left us with some great try scoring memories. However what a balloon he was off the pitch.

I used to play pool with him regular.Was usually in a different world when he was on the dreaded weed not to mention being p$ssed all the time but nevertheless a true gent.Sad end to what could have been a much longer career.

?? he was a top bloke!



just once he had a beer he would shove anything down his neck.

Precisely. Shameful for him to watse his talent and the opportunity he was given.

That hardly makes him well hard does it, Tomlinson was a small halfback, would he have gone for Sonny Nickle, I doubt it.



Yes Henare punched Tomlinson once and he beat his girlfriend up but would you fancy him in the ring against Drummond, Cullen or Nat Wood?

henare would take them on regardless of who you thinks hardest.

You obviously never saw Phil Ford cut some rug in Fiesta at 2.00am on a Sunday morning......................

or mateaki mafi moonwalking in the showboat



he bought me a pint and told me he would be right next day,he was wrong,he knocked on 4 times in the first half but fair play i dropped my pie and peas at half time.

You did well to hold on to your pie and pies until half time Tache- most people had followed through by 3.25pm - never buy a pie on a Sunday, Frank Muir told you that one................

There aren't many players in the world that would draw an extra 2k in.
