So spill the beans??? who was your favourite balmain or wests players, trevor ryan, percy knight, nana grant, kevin hardwick, john dorahy, gary bridge, trevor cogger, bruce mcgure, david brooks, peter camroux, gary freeman etc, there are a few names from the past for you to discuss
 
My favourite player would be Scott Gale, his double chip kick to win the game at the Cricket Ground against the Bears in a play-off game for 5th spot, think it might have been in 1985.
 
Sirro was my favourite Balmain player, and my favourite Wests player was a toss up between Andrew Leeds and Steve Georgallis.
 
As a kid, Rod Morris…. But over time Blocker Roach wouldve just pipped him for me...

Never had a Wests favourite... Always hated the Magpies!!!

How could you hate the magpies.Its not like we were manly.
 
To pick from a few different eras Wests The late great Dallas Donnelly , Jumper Leeds , Skando and Ben Galea Brett Hodgson . Could of quite easily become related to Hodgo My missus nephew and His Niece dated for years . Balmain Loved Sirro , Ellery "eats celery " Hanley , Scotty Gale and Darren Senter . Best Ever Tiger I think when he is finished might be Chris Lawrence .
 
Wayne Pearce, without a doubt. Always has #8 on my guernseys until we switched to international numbering.

Watto What you talkin bout Willis . Apart from early to mid 70's we had nothing until late 80,s early 90's . We were always finishing near the bottom . By the way champion 16-1 ring a bell . Wasn't that the scoreline in the GF in 75 brother . Wests were everyone 2nd favourite team . Bit like the West Tigers Easts were more like Collingwood . :roll
 
My top 3 is…
1) Geoff Daniela
2) Robbie Farah
3) Benji Marshall
