Athletic Back-Rowers

[The Original Eye]

In the B Clyde, B Lindner mold - where are they ?

Don't say N Hindmarsh.

 

[ByRd]

Sonny Bill

I'm confused as to why you would say "Don't say N Hindmarsh".

That's like asking who are the greatest Australian swimmers of all time? Don't say Ian Thorpe.

 

[BD5733]

...and I'd consider Sonny Bill to be more of an explosive backrower than a workhorse like Clyde and Linder.

This season, Laffranchi and Gallen have been consistently been getting through alot of work, quality work.

But consistently doing so year after year, I can only think of the player we can't mention.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Nathan Hindmarsh, i cannot think of anyone else? perhaps, Gallen?

 

[Tom Shines]

Hindmarsh, Williams I would think.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Tony Pelutua?

 

[Inferno]

Lance Thompson.

Can play 80mins, and similar to Webcke his work in the 80th minute is the same as his work in the first.

 

[Tom Shines]

Anthony Watmough?

 

[CliffyIsGod]

If you include Gallen, then as Wheelsy says, Watmough. The pretty much play and are built the same.

 

[Inferno]

Except Gallen is better. Much better.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

I would say this year they have been pretty similar.

 

[HevyDevy]

Ryan Hoffman has been exceptional this year. Should have been in the side ahead of Tupou.

 

[Tom Shines]

Ryan Hoffman has been exceptional this year. Should have been in the side ahead of Tupou.

Mate there are ten players that should have been ahead of Tupou.

 

[HevyDevy]

If they had 10 players instead of Tupou I'm certain we would have won.

 

[macavity]

Except Gallen is better. Much better.

I agree.



Steve Simpson is another one - goes all day and its always quality work. can run in tight or out wide.

there are plenty.

Tom Learoyd-Lahrs has shown moments of brilliance and is apparently very quick for his size (subject to his current knee problem).

If he continues to develop then he could be up there.

 

[Tom Ace]

Mate there are ten players that should have been ahead of Tupou.

Like Luke Stuart? :lol:

 

[Kurt Angle]

If he played in todays game there is no way Bob LindNer wuold be an 80 minute player.

 

[Mal Meninga]

Learoyd Lahrs was a superstar in athletics in his teens but he's had a few injuries that have slowed him down.
