Brett Mullins

Tedesco but no Bowen?

gtfo Albert

 

[Wizardman]

I reckon the Tigs have got your mob covered there.

Tom Humble
Shannon Gallant
Wade McKinnon
Shannon McDonnell
Mitch Brown
Rhys Hanbury
Jy Hitchcox
Sean Meaney
Kurtis Rowe
Robert Miles

I wanted to include Loltzen but the merkin scored once every two games at the back.

McKinnon was decent, just not for the Tigers...lol

Gallant was pretty good, at least in attack. Would take him over Moltzen any day.

Mitch Brown did his job. Wasnt flashy but in a team with a heap of attacking flair he was solid and that’s all we needed.

Wouldn’t feed the rest.

Snake is one of the most under rated players of the NRL era. I get that people rate him, but i dont think he gets the credit he deserves as a guy who IMO was a genuine superstar

Was never the same after injury unfortunately. He was a superstar before the injury and a good fullback after.

Did Lipina Kaufusi and Hassan Saleh ever play fullback or were they just magnificient finishers?

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Roy Bell x 10

 

[Fangs]

Embarrassment of riches in the NRL when superstar fullbacks like Todd Polglase, Shaun Foley and Jordan Tansey miss out.

Many people only noticed the attacking talents of Brett Stewart but I thought he was one of the best defending fullbacks. Even after all his injuries he was still a great defender.
I can't remember if it was a Manly game or SOO but Inglis broke the line and Stewart tackled him with ease on at least 2 occasions.

James Tedesco,
Brett Stewart,
Ben Barba,
Greg Inglis,
Anthony Minichiello,
Brett Mullins,
Jarryd Hayne

Four of the 10 played for the Roosters. Admirable restraint.

I'd have Michael Gordon for Inglis (making 5 Roosters!), whose best footy was at centre.

Roy Bell x 10

Shannon McDonnell

Do your worst!

 

[Dr Sbaitso]

Tedesco but no Bowen?

gtfo Albert

He’s off his head mate. One of the many alts he has will mention Mango. That’s the way he rolls.

Yes would have Michael Gordon in there too.
And while yes you note there are 4 Roosters in the list to be fair Brett Mullins played the bulk of his football at Canberra and only had one season at Easts right at the end of his career and the majority of the games on the wing and while yes Tedesco is a Rooster now he had 6 seasons at the Tigpies before hand.

Mullins wasn't a very good fullback in the NRL era, he was constantly injured and never got near rep footy again. Schif was a way better player over that period, he is pretty underrated if you look at what he achieved in some ordinary sides.

 

[carcharias]

Inglis, 1 to 10,

Next maybe Billy.

I reckon he played his best footy at centre when with the storm.

Slater is hard to beat as number 1 .

 

[Abacus]

Rhys Wesser yet to rate a mention? Guy was electric from 2002-2006.
