Brad Clyde vs Sam Burgess - then vs now

[RazorRam0n]

what a f**ked up poll that was lol

ended up being nearly 80% clyde, most lopsided they've done so far.

i'd like to know how R20 manage to rack up 20% of votes by himself.

All 4 Burgess' combined couldn't lace Clyde's boots.

Burgers is a hobo at the best of times.

Compared to Clyde he's a hobo from Melbourne.

 

[myrrh ken]

You're incredulous that two-time clive churchill medallist and all round legend beat an inconsistently good player better known for being a cheap shot merchant?

 

[justdave]

Clyde was a great player. One of my non manly favs. No contest here

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

The only way you could rate Burgess more highly than Clyde is if you are under 20 and never saw Clyde play.

 

[RazorRam0n]

clyde = GOAT backrower. > tallis kennedy etc.

 

[TheFrog]

two-time clive churchill medallist

One of which can only be put down to the panel being overly lubricated with Dr Toohey's finest. He wasn't even the best player on the losing side, that was Meninga.

Duh. I re-read the first post.

Carry on.

Brad Clyde was a f**king gun.

And his Scanlens bubblegum cards were always 3 to 1 in trades in 1990-1991. In the playground, that was goddamn respect of the highest order.

Clyde winning the Clive Churchill medal in the 1991 was pure bullshit. There where numerous Penrith players who played a big part in that win which vastly overshadowed Clyde's effort.

Giving it to Clyde was an insult to the Penrith Grand Final win,and an insult to the Clive Churchill Award itself.

 

[King hit]

Clyde by a long way

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Bargarse wouldn't be entitled to wipe Clyde's arse...

 

[Barkley]

No contest...it has to be Clyde,the great Bulldogs legend!

Injuries started to cruel him latter in his career, but when on the paddock Brad Clyde was one of the best players on any paddock. Could carry the attack, hit well in defence, and was not afraid to do the hit up work when required or make 30-40 tackles a game. He leaves Burgess for dead by comparison, and unlike Burgess he didn't cut and run to Union either.

 

[RazorRam0n]

let's be honest here, it would have been a landslide against anyone vs clyde

 

[Lambretta]

I reckon Burgess is a better player than the River Clyde

I kind of agree but Clyde was pretty good for Canberra in that first half and from what I heard they already picked the winner with about 10 minutes when Penrith just scored to level it up.

As for the "Them Vs Now" I don't mind the comparison however Clyde easily wins that vote and no disrespect to Sam.

Does anyone remember the World Club Challenge between Leeds and Canterbury and there were rumours about Clyde making a come back?

That would've been interesting, Clyde and SBW in the same team.

I dunno, I reckon Ron Coote or John Raper may have given him a run for his money

Watched Ron Coote play for Souths and later Easts,and he was a beast.Big tall lanky robust player as was Rod Reddy for St George. But I think above them all,Ray Price was the best lock forward I've seen just beating Mal Reilly from Manly.
