Fav TIGERS, Past & Present

[Demps]

As the title says, who are you favorite players from the past & present.
I know some of you probably like them all (with the exception of Fitzhenry) but lets limit it to 1 or 2 :slight_smile:

For me, of the current roster - although it's hard for me to pick some one I don't like,
My favorites are the prince, **BENJI MARSHALL** & top gun **ROBBIE FARAH**.
_Honorable mention_ to **LOTE TUQIRI** & imo, massively under-rated on-point player **GEOFF DANIELA**.

From the past I guess I'm going to have to go with **TANIELA TUAKI** :frowning:
& **DENE HALATAU**, loved watching the both of these lads on the field.
_Honorable mention_ to short-lived tiger **SCOTT PRINCE** & impressive **BRONSON HARRISON**.

 

[LukeH]

Is it wests tigers, or all tigers?
I'd say the rhino and Lawrence for present,
Prince and halatau for wests tigers
Jimmy Jack, Ross colon and junior pearce for all time

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Long term: Farah, Marshall and Heighington
Short term: Daniela, Brown and Fafita
Former: Hodgson, Richards and Benny Galea

Just quietly though there were so many players who wore the jersey from the early years who got stuck in and had a go, I think the successes from 2004 onwards have favoured the players of event years

How is Senter obscure?

He captained the team for 5 years + Balmain in 1999!

If that is obscure…...

McCracken played 8 games for us & was a convicted BITER while at the dogs!

And Mears was the worst defensive hooker I've ever seen!

 

[Spartan117]

Sirro and Benji

This is simple.

 

[Balmain_Bug]

Why are Wests Magpies players alienated from this thread ?

senter is a name never mentioned in tigers folklore - which is a real shame really, and like i said with the rest, it was more a "soft spot" for those players (i agree, mears was rubbish, but I dunno, I just liked him), which is way i put them aside.

I figured some obscure names from the past would also bring a twinkle to the eye of tigers diehards….

Baysarri also had the best porno moustache ever.

I would've thought that the thread said it all, but would agree if it was favourite Tigers or Magpies, past and present

Robbie Mears looked like a built up version of Carson Kressley… :laughing:

 

[tigerstu]

Present: Ummm…. well.... do I have to choose? Then... nope, too hard to pick.

I'll stick with the past... The McGuinness brothers, Brasher and Ellery Hanly

Great answer :slight_smile:

Good to see Daniela's name being thrown up a few times too !!
I too have a soft spot for the kid & wish him the best.
