I thought he hung around for 2001 as well, then finished up with the Storm in 2002.

You're right guys, from Wikipedia…
Shane Walker (born 4 January 1971), was a rugby league footballer of the 1990s and early 2000s. He played for the St. George Dragons in 1990 and 1992, the Eastern Suburbs Roosters from 1993–94, the Balmain Tigers from 1995–99, the Wests Tigers from 2000–01 and finally the Melbourne Storm in 2002.
There you go my memory lets me down!

Shane Elfords efforts in 2005 were tremendous but pretty much unheralded . He was just great in the centres and played injured in the final series
I think Elf and Fatz were both underrated players.
In the current squad, I'd definitely go with Ayshford.

Yeah you forget about a bloke like Tyran Smith Good player
Willie Manu - might have been on the outer when Sheens came to the club but he was one of the best for the Tigers for a few seasons…..could offload the ball with 5 players tackling him and could score a try also.
Cant go past Galea though, always put in 100% and should have been captain.

Agree with both of those. Gillette did very well in a pretty ordinary side. Ben Galea had great footwork for a big guy. A very important player in our 2005 charge to the title.
Yes Michael Gillette got completely hard done by -
One of those guys who looking back I thought couldn't tackle to save his life, however thinking about it now the poor bugger got stuck having to make one on one tackles on players who were simply unstoppable, due to the rest of the team going to crap around him.

I note that I don't mention Galea because I always rated him :mrgreen:

Although he always seemed to be hurt, I didnt mind watching Ben Duckworth, I always thought he was pretty skillful with the ball for his size

Absolutely, a guy with a great amount of natural ability and one that should have gone on to much higher honors.
You're right injuries held him back enormously!

He may have been under-rated when he was with us but he did play for Australia after he left us.
