Pure plod

[THE CHAMP]

Are you aware Stuart Kelly played for Queensland. But that was 1997 so take that as you may.

He was fast................ that is all.

this argument is as valid as steve turner and Nathan merritt playing for the nsw

Had a go at a Broncos plod team

1: Nick Parfitt
2: Scott Minto
3: Stuart Kelly
4: Denan Kemp
5: Leon Bott
6: Shane Perry
7: Brett Seymour
8: Martin Kennedy
9: Richard Swain

11: Michael Coorey
12: Brad Meyers
13: Darren Burns

14: Robert Tanuila
15: Elia Tuquri
16: Steve LaCaze
17: Steve Michaels

I would find room for the two Joel's in there somewhere - Clinton and Moon.

One did nothing but act up or get himself knocked out.

The other just did nothing.

Shane Perry won a premiership. If that's not outperforming potential I don't know what is...

Perry did have a handy role and played very well in the 2006 grand final I will admit but he wasn't that much of a player.

Like to see your Manly plodders and my Melb plodders engage in an epic cripple fight. 0-0 after golden point. The Bland Battle of Brookvale.

The referee was Brisbane's best player in the 2006 gf

Hi all, long time reader and first time thread poster. Thought I better add something for posterity, haha.

After this years' Storm team being lauded as the best (post-cap rorting) team they've ever assembled, I thought it would be interesting to come up with a Melbourne Storm team of genuine plodders. The prerequisites I set for selection were a minimum of 5 games or signed to the club for minimum of two years. Jeez, there were some stinkers go through that club. And some blokes who never realised their potential for one reason or another. Kind of forgotten as a result of the long period of success post-2006, legal or otherwise. 2001-2003 a particularly plod-worthy period when you look at team lists combined with on field results.

1. Aseri Laing
2. Fifita Moala
3. Junior Langi
4. Chris Walker
5. Semi Tadulala
6. Ben Anderson
7. Matt Orford
8. Ryan Tandy
9. James Aubusson
10. Alex Chan
11. Glen Turner
12. Ian Sibbitt
13. Willie Leyshon
14. Brett O'Farrell
15. Russell Aitken
16. Junior Moors
17. Atelea Vea

Done for no other reason than my own curiosity, whetted the appetite to look at a few more of these "super teams" of the last couple of decades.

Cheers.

Still butthurt that Matt Orford smashed you blokes 40 - zippo in 08? Kimmorley was there too and done far less,his career highlight was passing the ball to queersland for the win

Nah. I was happy to see him have his moment in the sun. He lost more games for Melbourne than what he won for them. To his credit, he was totally clutch in 2008. Even drew a smile when Beaver scored in my corner. f**king hurt at the time. Melbourne had its GF the week before. Manly went out to play.

My issue with Orford was the merkin had the long kicking game of an under 13s player

This!!! And he was f**ked kicking on the left. Tough though. Kimmorley had the forwards. And Scott Hill.

I have always respected Manly. They don't give a f**k.

I loved him,reminded me of Toovey with his pure guts

He left a year too soon for us to go to a good half and we got stuck with
Hodkinson for a whole f**king year,top bloke but total gimp player

[t-ba]

I feel like some of these Manly players were actually really solid at some stage to be considered pure plod. Sure, T-Rex is pretty bloody useless but he was a key part of a premiership drive for a little bit there.

We can get way more plod with Manly.

I've cheated a little by using some 2002 NEagles appearances for a few to get them over the 5 required, but these all pulled on the Maroon and White at least once.

That is plod. I tried to stay away from Northern Eagles era with the team I put on the park.

Notable plod above. Captain/Coach Jye Mullane.
