Greatest Ever Five Eighth

[greeneyed]

The choices are two: Daley and O'Sullivan.

 

[Raider Azz]

As much as Chris was a champ, I will have to vote for Daley.

 

[Chippo Raiders]

Chris unfortunately is up against it and whilst he was great, maybe the last spot on the bench should be his to contend because Daley is Daley winner Raider of the year for so many times, he deserves it.

 

[Tidus_Raider]

Must be Lozza.

FFS, put McLinden in there. greeneyed, you're seriously getting to me with your bias against new players.

 

[greeneyed]

As I have said, McLinden is my favourite "current" Raiders player. But I can't see how he matches Daley and O'Sullivan. And the balance of opinion on the nominations thread suggested that a nomination for Macca wouldn't be received well.

Anyway, I can't change the poll now. Only Thickos as a mod can make an addition. It's up to him.

 

[Kris_man]

we all knew Daley was gonna win this, but one of the main reasons we made a poll was to "give O'Sullivan some credit". McLinden would definitely not win best Raiders 5/8, but i believe he deserves a nomination.

 

[greeneyed]

I am starting to feel about as popular as George Bush around here............

 

[I Bleed Green]

I'm with greeneyed on this one. Daley's gonna win by a landslide. Why even bother arguing the point about McLinden.

 

[thickos]

I will happily add Macca if you want but I will need to see evidence of him wanting to be there by more than 1 or 2 people.

Lozza has got it in the bag anyway.

 

[Chippo Raiders]

I would like to close this thread before Chris gets humiliated he doesn't deserve it

 

[DJ Raida]

daley

 

[SOULS 04]

yeah daley always had it in the bag.

nothing against sullivan though... good footballer and not many can say they are in the class of daley

 

[raiders_boy]

I think it was nearly as clear cut as Meninga... not quite, but close

He captained his club, state and country, and IMO would hold his own in a "Best ever 5/8th," not just a raiders poll...

 

[greeneyed]

I voted for Chris, as I wanted to see him at least get one vote.

 

[raiders_lover_18]

McLinden could be there for credit!!!

 

[raiders_boy]

lol... i knew someone would do that... just like they did when someone voted against mal...

 

[greeneyed]

I think Daley would win overwhelmingly, but I have a real place in the heart for Chris O'Sullivan. He was there from the start and he won the Premiership and reached the top of the mountain! You just had to love it as a story. When he retired, I cried many more tears than when Laurie retired....

 

[raiders_boy]

thats deep man... youre gonna make me cry if youre not careful...

I cried the day of Laurie's last home game against the roosters, but I blamed it on the rain. 8)

On a brighter note, O'Sullivan's journey may have been better, but Daley was still the better player.

 

[Kris_man]

I cried the day of Laurie's last home game against the roosters, but I blamed it on the rain.

i was there, too. we made the trip up to Canberra for the game - it was f**king unreal. there was a rainbow starting and ending on either side of Bruce Stadium, right on full time. Amazing.
