Talk:Carl Hayman

Unique height as a prop?
Removed stuff about his "unique" height as a prop. Firstly it is not referenced, and secondly John Hayes from Ireland is about as tall. Feel free to put it back in, but don't say his height is "unique", and if you put it back please reference it. Anyway, is it really important? Lots of props are over 6 feet these days! 87.194.61.149 17:46, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Best tight head prop -- not referenced
"Hayman is widely regarded as the best tight head prop in world rugby, along with John Hayes and Al Baxter." By whom? --wcrosbie, Melbourne, Australia 05:43, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Al Baxter - one of best? Baxter is generally considered one of the weakest props in international rugby. Please cite any example by anyone who says he is among the best. I doubt such a comment exists144.132.241.6 (talk) 10:17, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Dementia Diagnosis
I just added a section for his dementia diagnosis - this can definitely be expanded. There's much more information available, particularly about his behavior prior to his diagnosis that was probably caused by his dementia (DUI and domestic violence charges etc) however these have been published on Otago Daily Times, Stuff, and The Spinoff and I wasn't sure if they cut the mustard re: the living persons biography rules. Additionally, Head On: An All Black's Memoir of Rugby, Dementia, and the Hidden Cost of Success was released a few months ago which could also potentially provide content for this section.
