so I've been following the Warriors team of the first 20 years polls and one thing I was thinking about was who would be the best 'cult' player that we've had.
I'm meaning players like hitro okesene, ukuma ta'ai, Suaia matagi, Iafeta paleaaesina, epalahame Lauaki, mark tookey, Ruben wiki, Henry fa'afili, etc.
Players who may not have been here long (and played less than 100 games for us, so vatuvei and lauiti'iti would be ineligible). They may not have been the best in there position, and generally started from the bench (with exceptions), most of them would get no where near 300 games or rep games in their careers but were able to bring crowds to there feet with the runs, the try celebrations, the tackles etc.
Personally the players I remember most from this group is fa'afili (try celebrations) and paleaaesina (would anyone want to try to tackle him?)
Obviously there are many reasons why someone becomes a cult player, and is different for each person. These players won't get remembered as the best in their positions but have helped to make the Warriors the club it is and have helped in there own way to attract fans and give us memories
Post your favourite and why? (and remember everyone has a different opinion of what a cult player is, so everyone is right... Try to make this a positive thread)
