ARL-The 90's..

[happy_tiger]

Strangely, Michael Buettner at hooker didnt save me. I think your safe now Kiwitiger.

I was actually surprised no one took the risk and picked Darren Senter .......


He would have been better. TBH its my first time playing this game and I was just frantically trying to find good players, then had to find a place for them.

Hooker was tough ..Geo and I talked about it last night ....if you went through the eras from the 70's to now the 90's and hookers ...you had 4-5 standouts and then it dropped off dramatically ....it was when the role of hooker changed dramatically as well so I wonder if that was the reason


For mine Benny changed the way hookers played, S Walters followed suit.

And Kerrod would have been a big success in the modern game ...that speed from dummy half was magic to play off the back of

The other hooker many may have forgotten was Mark Soden from North Sydney I did look at him as well

There’s a few Dean Triester, Dean Calloway, Brad Drew.

I'm starting to wonder whether I should have risked picking Chris Close in the centres ...it was hard knowing how people would vote

I almost picked him but ended up going Priddis as I thought people’s memories of Soden would be poor

yep Larry's 2 games for the Gold Coast in 91 after 8 year retirement was still better than Halligan's entire career..

I was going to pick him as my last pick. Instead I chose Iro. Should have done choppy instead.

Ok we are about to enter the final round of voting..the Bench..

For those that didn't play last time and a reminder for those that did..

In this Round you DO NOT vote or allocate points to individual players rather you allocate your votes to the Benches as a unit..again voting 13 down to 1 ..13 to the Bench you deem the best down to 1 the not so best..

All players benches are listed.. the post is long.. so when you cast your vote you only list the Entrants name ..not all the players...

Any Questions..

Names definitely meant something ...

Back to bottom 3 I go


Ink is only 20 points in front of me tho

I'll see if John Plath can save my bench

 

[Fade.To.Black]

Auto-correct comes up with some great names: Sam Backo was renamed Sam Backorder😂

 

[Fade.To.Black]

Simon Woodford is another

Woolford was a good player.....disliked him but he could play. Ditto for Treister.

I think names definitely stick in people's minds more so than players ability (or actual playing position!). Name-dropping is the way to go, will keep that in mind for the next comp......big Artie will be the game's premier fullback?

 

[Geo]

lol ok we ready to go now...comments closed till the end..

 

[Tigerlily]

And Hasler ...did he ever play hooker

Yep. He was hooker for Manly in the 1995 Grand Final

22 games in total at hooker out of 289 games

Played a lot at hooker when Toovey came into the NRL...Dessy probably started the term utility role...
