Purely from a Roosters perspective

1. Mini - 03-05
2. Freddy - All of his time with us.
3. Morley - Same as Freddy

Similar to McKinnon - Tuiaki and Dwyer.

I want to see Mateo back to his final Eels season form. Biggest mistake the club made was letting him go.

WTF are you on about??

Supposed you have noticed that I don't make a habit of following people on the forum just to ridicule them, that's just 'too f**king easy'. I never instigate anything vitriolic but that doesn't mean if you want to declare a verbal war I'm not up for it. By the way, I talk about all teams and coaches, I'm also a big fan of Toovey and Manly . . . and I do like a slice of well cooked pussy

Geez...the list could be long.

Geoff Robinson for the Dogs the MoiMoi of the 80's - I was a Parra supporter back then and used to go to Belmore to watch the clashes. Hated the Dogs with a passion but always loved seeing him come on off the bench.

Eric Grothe Snr in the early to mid 80s - most damaging ball running winger I've ever seen - his try from a line drop out against the Bulldogs in a semi final is still up there in the top 5 of all time individual tries

Ben Kennedy - for his time at the Knights but more so for his games in Origin for the Blues

Brett Kenny - played juniors with him at Guildford leagues (many MANY years ago) probably the most naturally gifted running and attacking 5/8 I have ever seen.

Cliffy Lyons across any period - struck match between him and Bert for skill and ability

I'm sure there are plenty more like Bradley Clyde, Steve Rogers, etc, etc. like I said, the list could go on and on...

But without doubt No. 1 is Alex McKinnon as the Baron said.

How that answers the question as to what you are on about I have no idea.

Regardless, no I don't notice your habits and movements on the forums. Hate to rock your world but I could care less. Just making an observation that you tend to bring the Storm and Bellamy into most conversations.

Congrats on your eating habits.

How would the Broncos like to have just Wally Lewis in the current mix, the Dogs Terry Lamb, Joey at the Knights . . . many single additions of past players would make the difference

MacDougall in 2000. Was unstoppable playing fullback. Uate when he first burst onto the scene- was raw, but very dangerous and played with no fear

And Blacklock when he sustained form back in 98-01. Loved watching his ability to pop up anywhere on the field and score a long range try.

So what, you don't want to punch on or even discuss a subject, just snipe. Thank your lucky stars I don't give a f**k about your habits or movements

They would like it very much. Any club that didn't appreciate the reincarnation of a former great to strengthen their playing squad would be a bit silly.

I wouldn't mind seeing the original "big three" come back and have a crack - Changa, Puff, and Chook. I'm not old enough to have seen them play and they are immortals. I'm sure it would be a thrill.

I didn't mean it quite that way, more as a guide to what type of single player is needed, but yes they would be silly wouldn't they

Forgot to include Artie Beetson in there! Absolute legend for the Roosters and Eels.

Never saw him play but would love to have seen Clive Churchill play - there isn't much footage of him around but the stats and the first hand accolades from those that did suggest he would be great in any era
