Hindmarsh named greatest player to never win a grand final

[The Mad Hatter]

No love for Wally Lewis?
Guess only 80 first grade games and 2 spoons isn't that good

He did win three comps in the equivalent BRL.

 

[King hit]

No love for Matt Bowen? One of the most entertaining and brilliant fullbacks. Unlucky to play in the era he did. Tim Brasher is one of NSW’s greats and only managed to play 4 finals games.

ET would be the best since the 80’s

If Burge is an immortal, and the only one on the list, doesn't it automatically mean he's the greatest player not to win a premiership?

 

[Canard]

The NRL.com said it excluded Chris Close (among others) because he played the majority of his time in the BRL?

Completely and utterly incorrect, not even in the ballpark of a fact.

 

[THE CHAMP]

He did win three comps in the equivalent BRL.

Considering the results of the first few state of origin series one could quite easily say superior

 

[gUt]

Andrew Johns, supposedly the greatest player ever, only won one. Makes you wonder.

 

[Rhyno]

Can’t believe Jarryd Hayne didn’t make the list

Reggie's don't count

 

[THE CHAMP]

Reggie's don't count

Right so Wally has 3 to sterlings none. Thanks for clarifying.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

From players I’ve seen, my team would be.

Fullback - Jarryd Hayne
Wingers - Nathan Blacklock, Manu Vatuvei
Centres - ET, Steve Rogers
5/8 - Trent Barrett
Halfback - Tom Raudonikis
Lock - Wayne Pearce
Second Row - Nathan Hindmarsh, Paul Sironen
Front Row - Steve Roach, James Graham.
Hooker - Ben Elias

I never saw Burge or Barnes play, but would be in their respective positions based on what I’ve read.

excluding English SL for Graham. If English Championships count, Possibly Les Davidson, Paul Rauhihi, can’t think of many other props.

A lot of Parramatta fans must have voted or kids who haven't seen much league.

Steve Rogers of the players I've seen (from the 70s onwards) or one of the older legends (after all, one of them is considered an "immortal") would have to get the vote.

agree with most of the team but Manu Vatuvei no way in hell!

Manu was the symbol of all that was wrong with the warriors organisation and why they would never win a premiership. Brilliant play some of the time but drop the ball or other such blunder at a key moment everyone has a chuckle and pats him on the back. Warriors seemed happy to put up with underperforming players and never strived to do better.

 

[Fangs]

Where's Wally?

Outstanding team. I could definitely see them losing a GF even today.

haha.

Hindy isn't even the best comic sidekick on TV.

 

[Frailty]

NRL.com doing click bait articles...

Hindy was a good player. But he wasn't near everyone else listed in the article.

Oh you count that laughable reserve grade comp in 1997?
