Yeah...may want to try again. :lol:
Hodgo was a key element of the Broncos success that season and did a great job creating a roll on for the squad.
The only candidates for that team would be Stagg, Perry, Carlaw and McGuire.
Perry as a second-string halfback is a gimme. Seymour was the Broncos most talented halfback, but poor form on and off the field cost him. Perry wasn't a star by any means, but he shored up the left edge defensively and his long distance kicking game was surprisingly effective finding the in-goal and staying there more often than not. To his credit as well, Shane had his best game for the Broncos in the Grand Final.
Stagg did a job for his team and allowed Bennett to run with Berro at hooker. He was solid but in a litany of great players he's probably worth a shout.
Both Dane and Casey were solid contributors off the bench but weren't anything special by 2006. To McGuire's credit, he did throw the hail mary which set up the Tate try in the corner. Whether you put it down to his pass or the support play is another matter entirely.
Rudder has a mortgage on the six, but if we're basing it on actual performances than it's difficult to look past Anasta. Braith played injured in the 2004 grand final and it clearly showed. He had a shocker and had to come off the field mid-way through the game. Thinking back on it, JT doesn't get the credit he deserves. He looked far better than Braith out there and came up with some great plays at the death. A lot of people consider him the token passenger, but for a bench utility he contributed more than most.
