Current ex Raiders and who would you have?

[Rohan]

This is a team made up of ex Raiders currently running around for other teams. If you could have one player back who would make a difference in season 2004 who would it be. Ive included Raiders Juniors to pad out the numbers a little, feel free to add any others I may have forgotten.

Props: Villasanti, Payten
Hooker: Priddis
Second Row: Faumuina, Kite
Lock: Kennedy

Halfback: Finch
5/8: Monaghan
Centre: Lolesi
Wingers: Vainikolo, Williamson

Interchange: Withers

Personally Id like to see Finch come back...... haha. Seriously I think that Vainikolo would fill a hole in the backs (and slightly edge Lolesi in ability) and will probably hit the prime of his career in the next couple of years. Second choice would probably be Faumuina who looks to be a very athletic and skillful player. Your thoughts??

I would take McFadden over Finch anyday, even though he gets injured every 2nd game...

 

[Steven Gerrard]

Vanikolo, Priddis and Monaghan

 

[thickos]

The Volcano and Mick Monaghan for me!

Just like to point out that this is the Raiders' page 500th thread - sensational effort!

 

[edabomb]

luke phillips could be your fullback. i would take vainakolo/lolesi, fauminua, kennedy and monaghan

 

[mike83au]

Definately Vainikolo for me. He needs a haricut, but he has been in awesome form.

God I'd take McFadden and Withers well before I took finch back!

Also the Volcano.

The only way Id ever take Finch back was if in the 04 Grand Final with Raiders V Roosters he ripped off his Roosters jumper revealing a Raiders jersey then proceeded to run down Todd Byrne with a match winning tackle. He would then look at Ricky and say "thats for bagging the Raiders at every opportunity you bastard".

 

[woodgers]

I would take back Mick Monaghan and The Volcano.

I wouldn't mind David Furner if he is running around in C grade somewhere

Wrestling fan are we? :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Steven Gerrard]

Finch...match winning tackle? That doesn't look right to me. :lol:

he would aslo have to play a MOTM performance
so basically he has buckleys chance

 

[greeneyed]

The obvious ones are Vainokolo and Monaghan on current form... I hated losing McFadden from the club even though he has effectively been injured ever since leaving....

The original list also forgets Jason Death.......

 

[Willow_2003]

Yeah but before I would want Death back I'd ask for Priddis, McFadden and Withers......

 

[greeneyed]

I was just adding Death to the list.... Phillips is on the list now too... let's add Mullins too... :lol:

Nah just an overactive imagination and too much time on my hands! :lol:

I actually thought about Death but I couldnt believe that he was still kicking around!! That dude should win an award for the longest career for an average player.

For those picking Priddis & Monaghan, would you take them over Woolford and Campese or Carney (assuming they are competing for the same positions)? Personally, I think that you wouldnt lose much with either choice, IMO Woolford = Priddis and Monaghan>Campese or Carney at the moment but the potential payoff with the younger guys could be more.

 

[greeneyed]

I would take Priddis over Woolford... and always would have ... from the original time of choice. We don't have to choose Campese or Carney over Monaghan... we could have had all three.

 

[Willow_2003]

I'd take Germ before Priddis.

 

[ball boy]

i would only just take priddo over germ and i would deffinatly take Mcfadden over Finch..
other players we could add to the list are Brandon Costin, Graham Appo and Anthony Collela just to name a few
