Greatest Side/Era put together!

[BossleyPanther]

Even though the season is not complete yet, This current side (Last 4 years) in my eyes is greater than the 1989-1991 and 2003-2004 sides.

2 X Minor Premierships
1 x Premiership.

If we do not get that main title than it just wasn't mean to be. But the domination is justfied for my liking of Best side we ever had. 1991 will always be close to my heart and we would have dominated the 1990s if it wasn't for the death of Ben.

2003 was pretty much a 1 hit wonder came out of nowhere. Preston being the final jigsaw for that side.

What are your thoughts.

Hard to argue.

This year in particular, considering Nathan Cleary has missed a chunk of the season with injury/reps/suspension it would have to be the guttsiest.

 

[Fangs]

Its number one but they are obviously all special.

This thread already exists...
Its called
PENRITH!!!!

Opinion - Penrith

My goodness, they were extremely impressive tonight. They are going to be extremely hard to beat. The beautiful thing about them is they are young yet have that big match experience that they handle so well. Pretty much their 17 are either entering their prime or at their prime now....no player...

How many make our best ever 17? Api and Yeo 100%. Nathan will surpass Brandy (we all know why he didn't have the career he should have). Fish at least makes the bench as well

If they win this year there will be no doubt

Fish on the bench? You can can tell him, coz I aint. JFH is the best front rower we have had. He and Martie Lang would lock down that front row and wreak havoc.

No way API is in front of Craig Gower. Gower's toughness, will to win, skill are legendary. He carried the team on his back to many memorable victories.

This brings up an interesting point, Brandy and Gower are clearly club greats. Given Cleary has missed a huge part of the season, If we win the comp as a team does it put him past them due to winning more comps?

Given no one has won multiple comps here, Certain positions like wing and even Fullback. The current crop will get in

Flash is our best winger imo. Would probably have been our best fullback as well if Elliott had any idea

It wasn't as though he went on to carve up at Fullback after he left.

Lewis/Mansour would be my wingers given Lewis was a back when here, Both sit in top 5 on our try scorers list. Which is a wingers job really.

Yeo would be the best lock we had for sure

It's more of a team effort overall. I mean Brandy will always be my favourite. But Nathan is close.

Lewis would be the 14. Most versatile player I've seen

Flash was very good.

Brandy & Gowie (unofficially) have Dally M's but Nathan has a Clive Churchill, more finals wins & a better regular season win % (albeit has played at least 100 games less than Brandy & Gowie).

the way Nathan is tracking you'd back him to be ahead when his future is done, but too close to call now.

Gower at 14 is a strong argument considering he played well both as hooker and a half.

 

[Iamback]

He is but there a few positions stacked, So until a winger beats him

Wesser
Lewis
Girdler
Fittler
Mansour
Brandy
Gower
Geyer
Royce
Fish
Puletua
Waterhouse
Yeo

Cleary
Cartwright
Kikau
Waterhouse

 

[ACTPanthers]

I'm being ridiculously biased, but Preston Campbell is the greatest player to ever lace a boot...

f**king love that man

Terry Geary is the toughest front rower to ever pull on a panther jersey for extra money he would bounce at the club and boy could he throw them
