Not half.

He was an absolute genius. A loose cannon but most definitely a genius.

I would pay good money to watch him, he has everything this current team hasn't,

Flair
Skill
Unpredictability
Pace to Burn

I used to get excited everytime he got the ball.

Genius? Jonathan Davies or Phil Blake or Allan Langer spring to mind but Henare was hardly in their bracket. He scored some brilliant tries, but they came down to sheer pace, a bit of strength and bit of bravery / lack of fear.

The closest thing we have is Kevin Penny, unfortunately he's not in the side.

Back to Henare, loved that story about him running rings around the British Lions team on a beach in New Zealand. And they had no idea who he was.

unfortunately that was the ability to Piddle a perfectly decent career up the wall......

a player that was signed from Whitehaven (or was it Carlisle?)quite late in his career should have made more of the chance he was given at Warrington....

I use the term Genius loosely.

Id still prefer to watch Henare in full flight than Jonathon Davies.

Kevin Penny could not hold a candle to Richard Henare.

If Henare was named in sundays team it would put a good 2000 on the gate.
