I’m too young for Coote. (I enjoyed that, not often I get to say it anymore), but I reckon Clyde would still cut it in this day and age. Probably Junior too.

Yeo should be in the Top 6 imo
He's an out and out front rower
Elijah Taylor is a genuine lock prototype with some very crafty skills

Too young for most of them but Yeo is No.1 for me and Taumalolo 2nd.

Not sure if it’s just recency bias, but Yeo is a standout 13, a triple threat with ball-running, passing, defending, and even capable of a decent short kick. Pearce was exceptional as a reliable 13 and played a big role in making the game more professional. Clyde was probably the best of that era, but I can’t really comment on players from earlier since it was before my time.

Paul Langmack deserves a shout if we're only talking about WT or our foundation clubs. Obviously Wayne Pearce was a legend.
In the modern era Corey Parker was an absolute workhorse with an offloading game.
Paul Gallen, while a great player, often got in the way of the attack. He was notorious for running the ball on the 5th tackle when they were attacking the goal line.
In the current era, Cameron Murray is my pick. He's become a bit forgotten as he's been out of the game with injury for a while. 60 minutes of pure mad-man intensity with a crisp passing game, while not being the biggest guy. He is the prototype lock for me and what every aspiring #13 should try to be.

Line speed, cover defence, leadership. I find it hard to compare spine players to non- spine players but if you take the 1,6,7,9 out- Yeo to me has been the best player I've seen in the last 15-20 years.
Raper by a mile.
