  I remember seeing Hindmarsh scoring 40 and 50 metre tries.

  Yep Hindy was really smashing it in the NRL pre Brian Smith . Especially when he was told he wasn't good enough to make Illawarras reserve grade and to jog on .

  Him having no pcls and arthritis in the knees slowed him down a hell of a lot. He had to turn and concentrate on defence. My favourite player for sure, tough as nails.

  Hindmarsh wouldn't have a career without Smith. Smith was the one who debuted him when he was struggling in the lower grades!!

  Mate his shoulders were stuffed, he used to fend off tacklers before they were.

  Razor he had well documented feet/toe problems plus he also did his knee in the mid 2000s. This all contributed to his loss of pace and change of style. While he concentrated more on defence, he went from scoring tries to saving plenty!!

Cayless was just ok . Won't go down as any type of club legend . Hindy will always be remembered up there with the second tier of our legends unless he continues to destroy his legacy by being Monkey Johns's whipping boy .

  Cayless to me was another steady prop, not overly exciting but did his job.
  
  Hindmarsh was by far a better attacking player in his early career, his brother Ian was in some ways better all round but certainly in defense, but was usually shaded by Nathan in attack Smith wanted Nathan to be a defending 2nd rower & turned his natural game around, did nothing really to enhance his career really . As a natural hard running forward he was tops sadly he finished as another forward.
