put john lomax in for paul osbourne as lomax played prop for most of the season.

raiders of 94' still the bets club side i have had the pleasure of watching. saying the raiders weak point is the props seems weird to me. pongia and lomax were kiwi props and tough nuts.

mullins in his prime VS lockyer in 98 would be great to see.

Wow, that'd be a hell of a game.

 

[Mr Saab]

brisbane 98 by 1-10

 

[dubby]

Croker was unlucky to miss the Roo tour in 94, so he was NOT weak.

Raiders by 1-10.

THe only threat the Broncos had was Alf + Kevvie, the forwards lacked speed their outside backs weren't as quick as the Raiders.

What you have to realise is that we are talking about Brisbane 1998...not 2005.
Webcke, Carroll, Thorn, Tallis, Petero, Gee....they were all early to mid 20s in those yrs. They were not slow...i assure you of that. Maybe Andrew Gee was, but his role wasnt to score tries.
Was Lomax, Osborne, and Pongia known as speed machines?????
Wendall, Lockyer, Hancock, Renouf...they were not slow back in 1998.
Darren Smith might have been off the pace, but i think he could have matched it with Mal Meninga.
So a rampaging tallis, agile lockyer, tackle busting TC...they were not threats in 1998? So it was all Walter and Langer and the rest were hacks?
I dont mind debate, but when you produce absolute dribble like what you said then i will call you a nuffy with NFI.

The funny thing is that if they played to their potential the 01 Parra side would beat both.

Same with the Roosters 02 side, how would those two teams handled the gang tackling, probally not very well.

How would they have gone against the 01 first half onslaught from Newcastle?

Like all GF's, it doesn't matter what you've done all year...it comes down to 80 minutes of football.

Only threat huh

Lockyer, Tallis, Renouf, Smith ( leading try scorer that year ), Sailor :?, as for speed. Both sets of backs were about the same in terms of speed.

Lee would have been the quickest forward on the field, Carroll and Tallis had plenty of speed back then and thorn, whilst being a monster of a man wasn't a slouch in the speed department back then.

Never said Croker was weak, read what I said, he was the weakest backrower out of both teams which showed how great they were because he is one hell of a player.

that was one magic half as the eels played like crap as they were like possums on the pacific hwy staring at a mack truck. Who is to say that the knights would have done that to the raiders or broncos? We will never know.
How would the knights have handled langer and walters? How would the knights handled Stuart and Daley?

 

[RABK]

Johns. His 2001 form was superior to any they produced, he set up a record number of tries, i believe of the 140 odd we scored that year Johns had a hand in 105 of them.

He was also averaging 14 points a game, pretty incredible seaosn considering he missed 9 games that year.

Would have been a good clash, but once again...all comes down to 80 minutes.

 

[Mr Saab]

is that all you have? Johns? Talk about a one man team

Your record without Lockyer is worse then ours without Johns.

No you asked how we would have handled those halves, i answered with a better player.

 

[Mr Saab]

yes johns is a great player...the best of all time arguably, but the combo of johns and rudder doesnt look as good as Daley and Stuart or Walters and Langer.

 

[RABK]

Proves how good he is, Johns doesn't need a partner to run the show. He won a comp with Rudder outside him. Stop shooting yourself in the foot.

Continue talking about Raiders vs Broncos.

Why do you wankers have to turn every thread into a Johns vs. Lockyer debate

yeah...one comp. whoopee.
How many did stuart/daley walters/langer win

 

[waltzing Meninga]

The big question is,

How would have Giddley and Hughes handled Meninga and Wiki???

 

[Wristy McSlashalot]

OK seeing as how Andrew Johns was in neither the Broncos 98 team nor the Raiders 94 team any mention of his name in this thread from now on is banned. BANNED!

 

[Kiwi]

We are talkiing about Raiders 94 v Broncos 98 and what does RBK do, his typical sh*t...brings the Knights and Johns into it. Then has the cheek to tell Saab to get back on topic....

As my sig says
