Will be sorry to see Hindy go. As much as I hate Parramatta he was one player I had a lot of time for.
Hahah Rams had the shittest colours in history at one point. Would have been mad if they'd stayed in the comp and recruited him though so he could have played at Hindmarsh Stadium
Hindmarsh is still easily good enough to be in the NRL for another 1-2 seasons beyond this year imo even if you were to just stick him at lock and tell him to tackle for 70mins. Would loved for him to have equaled the record of games, Him and Beaver are the best two examples of good men in rugby league. Never any controversy, hard workers, do their job, not the strongest, not the fastest, not the biggest tats, just all business.
Yeah, I don't buy into all this crap that he is past it. Still averages 50+ tackles a game with 1 or 2 missed and a couple ineffective. I'd take that any day of the week.
Yeah definitely I mean his running game declined mid 2000's as he lost a bit of leg speed but he was still in or around rep quality then and is just as good now still, his game is one which doesn't need him to be particularly dynamic and FMD it's valuable.
