[ooneil]

Sam Tonkins - lol

 

[shane_sharks]

97. Willie Mason - Newcastle
35. Tim Grant - Panthers hahaha

 

[Victor The Viking]

The top 5 is probably right IMO (though I'd have Slater and Smith at 1 and 2). A lot of the rest looks like they just pulled names out of a hat.

 

[1967Sharks]

Burgess and Barba better than Gallen? Hmmmmmm

 

[hobo]

Any idea what the criteria was? i.e. 2012, club football etc

Im thinking the criteria was based on whoever got picked out of the hat in the RLW office first.

 

[hobo]

It does seem a bit like that but I'm sure you could ask everyone that follows league and you wouldn't get any two the same.....its obviously pretty subjective and a subject to be discussed over a beer or ten.

Jamie Lyon and Brett Stewart I rate them but do they have more influence over the sea eagles than Glenn Stewart DCE or Foran I wouldn't have though t so and how does Jorge Taufua even make the list?

Gallen surely should rate higher, I suppose playing busted at the end of the year didn't help.

Good to see Lachlan Coote in the list and Michael Gordon no where to be seen...any opinion GIRDS

You could go on for ever....Josh Morris 12th wow that seems high IMO

 

[brendo]

Dave taylor? Wtf

 

[KyleP]

Tony Williams at 49 ahahah. At least Taylor plays decent some of the time. Tony Williams is the most useless player around, you just have to look at his performances for NSW and Australia to see that. He looks lost on the field, gives away penalties and drops the ball and most of the time fails to do the one job he is picked for - running over the top of defenders. He rarely does it. In the Australia/NZ game the other week players like Scott, Tamou and Gallen were making the metres and breaking the line while Tony Williams did nothing except make mistakes.

 

[1967Sharks]

We will see the best of T-Rex next year, I would take him over Taylor anyday.
Josh Reynolds better than Foran....Plllease!

 

[KyleP]

I dunno mate, Des didn't have much luck with him at Manly, can't see it changing that much when he moves to the Bulldogs. The guy has got potential to be a good player but i think he is very overrated. He was also flung into Origin and Tests a few years too early.

 

[1967Sharks]

Yeah i get your point, I just think that the Bulldogs pack won't let him get away with not putting in.

 

[thenamesgould]

Looks like they forgot about Kurt Gidley.

 

[1967Sharks]

They also forgot Nathan Stapleton

 

[mischap123]

Interesting thread. I'd love to know how in hell you can compare all these. What on earth would the criteria be? As others have mentioned it's very subjective but even more so I reckon it's the opinion of the writer ONLY

 

[thenamesgould]

They also forgot Nathan Stapleton

Both extremely talented players, right in the top echelon for sure.

I dont think even Stapleton is good enough to Captain from the bench though.

Haha, well there's very few players in the game who could have pulled that off with the success that Gidley did.
