Best Purchase Ever

[Skeletor]

Since we have a thread for the worst signings ever, let's put one together for the best. Let's keep it to players who had played a significant amount of first grade for another club before joining Parra, please.
My picks:
JT (obv)
Gary Larson
The Canterbury 4 (Smith, Pay, Dymock, McCracken in that order IMO)
Piggy Riddell

 

[eels_fan]

Bulldogs 4
Morrison
Tahu - first time
Fui Fui
Widders

 

[Gordy]

Steve Edge

 

[TeHEel]

Rogers...... Sorry had to get that out of the way.


Pay probably for me

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Dean Pay.

Gary Larson seriously? He was way over the hill when he played just his season for us and did little.

The big 4 from the Dogs, Morrison, Fui, Tahu the first time, Brad Drew hasn't been mentioned but he was outstanding for us in 2001. Also Wade McKinnon returning.

Dean Pay in the last 20 years hands down.

70's and 80's can't split Bomber Peard, Bear O'Reilly and Stumpy Stevens. Closely followed by Edge and Beetson. Bear and Stumpy provided the platform for Kenny, Sterling et al to win us our first premiership.

overall however, the great man, Jack Gibson by a country mile.
