Favorite West / Balmain or WT player?

[Buttface]

Cherry Mescia?

Steve Georgallis?

Uncle BF used to play lower younger grades with Steve G. I met him a couple of times.
I have Chez’z John Hancock on a signed white Magpies jersey.

Balmain Ellery Hanley - he was unbelievable
Magpies Andrew Leeds
wests tigers Benji

The black pearl, an athlete when footy players looked more like Norm.
Leeds is another on my White Magpie Jersey. Crossed over from the dark side and killed it.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Leeds was one of the safest fullbacks I have ever seen.

 

[gallagher]

A few that hadn't been mentioned yet, bruiser Clark, Darren and Andrew Willis, Bruce Maguire, Schofield

Favourite Balmain player was Junior Pearce.

Favourite Wests Tiger; Chris Lawrence.

Both humble, hard working players who always played within themselves.

I remember this juiced up wanker big noting himself that he was bigger then Rowdy who happened to be at a restaurant attached to the pub he wishes he had half his heart.

Balmain - Paul Sironen

Wests Magpies - John Dorahy

Saw Kiah Cooper @ Woolworths earlier
He's a massive unit

He was a good player for the magpies, showed a lot of promise.

Garry Schofield was one of my favourite Balmain players of the 80s but just read an awful update about his health …

Tim Brasher the dasher as a young whipper snapper

Wests - andrew leeds
Tigers - Paul Sironen,Tim Brasher,Mark O'Neil and Mick Gillett

Just reread the thread .....weird that some nominated Hanley and Schofield for either Wests or Balmain but didn't nominate them for both

Schofield not doing too well. One of Britain's best

 

[crazycat]

Honestly... I go for flare.

Taniela Tuiaki - such a great winger. Crippled before his time.
Hodgson I liked watching play. He did stuff that was interesting and different. I liked Marshall, but Hodgo surprised me.

Forwards. Liam Fulton. He tackled himself to death almost.

Really sad news .....I rate him and Sam Burgess to 2 best players to don the Great Britain Jersey

 

[PrattenParkMagpie]

Magpies -
Geoff Foster
Joe Cool Dorahy
Andrew Leeds (seriously Panthers, how could you let Leeds go to sign Anthony Xuereb in 93)
Lord Teddy Goodwin.

WT -
Ben Galea
Hodgo.

Wests: Steve Broughton a bloody fast winger who was so great with us kids (16-18) before & after games. Trevor Cogger, a very underrated half.

Balmain: Ross Conlon for his goal kicking alone (yes I know he played for WS as well). Larry Corowa because Larry Cowara.

Wests Tigers: Brett Hodgson for his leadership, skills and punching well above his weight. Bryce Gibbs for being the take no shit meathead the team needed plus his hilarious off field pranking.

 

[Tigerdazz2]

Leo Epifarnia or something like that.
Played hooker for the Magpies late 80-90’s.
I didn’t think anyone else would remember let alone vote for him, so I thought I would.
Thanks for the entertainment Leo.

Still luv ya BQM

Leo played fullback or wing and occasionally centre. You might have him mixed up with Allan Fallah who was a pretty good hooker.

 

[Tigerdazz2]

Am I correct in saying he played quite a few years in England?

Correct!!
