I am offended you thought of Tansey before Willie Brown.

 

[adamkungl]

needs more John Williams

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Brett Mullins did more in one season than Amos Roberts did in his entire Roosters career

Lose the 4 seasons condition. Like TT said, Mullins = hero. Roberts = dud.
Crocker in for Tupou.

Shillington never did anything for us. I'd have Bonetti in there but if this was a real side it would need another prop.

 

[Non Terminator]

Luke Phillips. Come the f*ck on.

 

[adamkungl]

Luke Phillips. Come the f*ck on.

I suppose you could have

1. Phillips
2. Minichiello
5. Perrett/Mullins

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Diamond is a must. Wing on the Bench over Anasta aswell.

What about Carney? He is like Mullins, he did more in one season than we got out of anyone who played in the halves in 10 years besides Freddy, Freddy at lock and Carney 5/8?

 

[Non Terminator]

Don't know why Shillington would be there. Already has done so far more at Canberra then he did here.

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

I'd swap Myles and Cayless and NT's team is as good as it'll get.

 

[Non Terminator]

Yeah, I'd agree with that now that I look at it lol.

One change I would make, I guess its arguable, Anasta in for Flannery.
Flannery won a comp with us and was a top notch utility, but Anasta is a captain, has been excellent for us in his last 4 years, and came bloody close to captaining us to a comp.

 

[Non Terminator]

Tough one lol.

 

[adamkungl]

one of them 18th man haha

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Flannery was more versatile and could slot in just about anywhere but prop, I'd have him over Anasta for that reason but still a hard one. I'd rather have the choice of Flannery or Anasta than the nuffies Souffs would have to choose from.

 

[Mobs]

Whilst I despise him beyond belief, Hodges was pretty gun in our Premiership season.

Absolute f**king injury-prone nuffbag after that though.

EDIT: Kinda like how Mullins gunned it that year before retiring.

EDIT 2: Luke Phillips is still the most underrated player of all-time, absolute hero I will forever love him for his 2000 GF performance.

 

[Rooster Legend]

Noo you just can't put Minichiello on the wing, that is insult for all the stuff he achieved at fullback. And I would have Tupou over Crocker anyday. Tupou's recent performances with Cronulla may have brought him down a little but when he was at the Roosters he was incredible . Crocker was just too undisciplined, and saved his best matches for Origin. Anasta over Flannery, for the amount of times he has won the match for us over the years.

 

[adamkungl]

Crocker > Tupou without a doubt in my mind.
Mini on the wing simply because both Mini and Phillips deserve a spot.
