Chance: Offer a base contract to unproven first grader Fuifui Moimoi - Move directly to 'GO' collect $200

Community Chest: Offer an expensive contract to representative player Brett Finch - Go straight to jail, miss 3 turns, if you pass jail do not collect $200

Just off the top of my head:

1957-1966 - Ken and Dick Thornett, Brian Hambly
1967-1976 - Denis Fitzgerald, John Kolc, Ron Hilditch
1977-1986 - Eric Grothe, Steve Ella, Brett Kenny
1987-1996 - Stu Galbraith, Cameron Blair, Scott Mahon
1997-2006 - Nathan Hindmarsh, Nathan Cayless, Luke Burt
Not bad, but:

Sterlo...?
O'Reilly...?
Cronin...?
Price...?
and Dean Pay > Stu Galbraith

Someone is always going to miss out...and don't forget that there's the top 2 spots to be filled as well. Plus, I have other ideas that can take care of some players. ;-)

Hell, if anyone actually takes the time to do a list they may not want to go by eras. They may wanna do their own thing. If so, you may have all those 80s heroes in there and other people missing out.

Chance:
You Have signed Michael Hagan as your next first grade coach. You are immediately disqualified from this game.

:lol::lol: it's the worst card you can get:lol: all your properties all of a sudden get the 'Hages Tax' - pay an extra 50% on top of what you paid for them or 50% over the market value :lol:

Great idea HJ...

I would only use players that are either local products or went through our production line at an early age..

Some interesting selections there, FP.

Ken ahead of Pricey;
Erickson and Buetts getting a run, along with Woodsy;
Haha being there at all, let alone so high up and above the likes of Ella;
Wallace was one that had not come to my mind.

Ken ahead of Pricey due to the fact that Pricey was RU convert.

Erickson and Buetts are controversial - but good solid local boys who served the club well.

Haha - you're kidding right.

Wallace was a champion winger.

I still think it's a bit controversial. I mean, it's Pricey!

I think it's great. I know Beutts went elsewhere (twice) but he was still a Parra boy and the Sparrow was one of our shining lights during a dark period. It's good that there are people who think they should be included.

Haha - you're kidding right.
Nope. Two half decent half-seasons as opposed to the likes of Ella (Australian rep and Premiership winner) and Cayless (longest serving captain). Not intended in any way as a slight against HaHa but we should be judging either very late in careers (Hindmarsh, Cayless) or after they're gone.

Wallace was a champion winger.
Not disagreeing just saying he wasn't someone who I'd thought to put in.

I would have thought that "Chance" has to be renamed "Grothe". Eric Snr was always a "chance" to play any game - right up to kick off. Remember when he rolled his ankle in the tunnel, going out onto the field?:lol:
