I would have Tony P over both of them. Had the skill of Cartwright but on his day could be as physical at Geyer; made many a half his speed bump…
The trouble was, what was the day? He couldn't be bothered a lot of the time. As physical as Geyer? Geyer was a nutter and having watched him live, demolished players (like Puletua though, only when he could be bothered) with brutal hits, I just can't see it. I saw him knock Graham Wynn out with a shoulder charge (legal hit, not head high) so hard, he was asleep before he hit the floor. Graham Wynn was a big front rower.

That said, Cartwright was a much better player than both Geyer and Puletua. Consistent effort, better defence and a better motor than both of them. There's a reason Cartwright had more than twice the rep jerseys Geyer had and was made captain of Penrith.

No Terry Wickey, no Brad Waugh, no Gowie, no Trindall, no Ben Ross, no Mick Kelly, no Camel, no Brohman, no Geoff Gerard, no izzards, no Franze

Sorry buddies, this thread is a Johnny Come lately, fair weather effort.

Shame on you for turning your back on smuggy history.

Giants of the club straddled and stomped on for modern-day pussycat nancy boys.

Shaking my head in disbelief.

If we’re talking specific years, prime Mansour of ‘16 walks into the other wing spot. Scary to think about the trajectory he was on before Dugan f***ed his knee up at Kangaroos camp. Rooney declined after Girdler retired. Flash a good shout, also Critta but I feel that would be a bit cheap.
 

Chins get the wins

Not the thread socklette, just some of the later players names I’m seeing and cussing at.

A couple of premierships and I’m figuring people are happy clappers.

Royce Simmons, did I mention him? I pray he’s going OK. The ultimate forward.

In the relative terms, you’ve always had some elite players on the ground. Not always surrounded by the best, but in their era, very high brow.

Terry Wickey would run rings around Mitch Moses.

Smuggy got back

Oh my God Becky, look at that half,
He’s just so chin….

I like old smug
And I cannot lie
Ivan’s team they don’t just inspire

You put a Zivanovich in my face
And I get sprung like an animal
With Pritchard on the Bench
Langs throat cut by Matt Elliot
And before we had beach..

Comets face with A Bidwell booty!

In his 5 to 10 games or so for us TPJ was the best front rower of any Panther I've seen.

Brandy in 14 is pretty good because he covers 1-7 and I can't remember him ever playing there but I reckon he'd make a good go at 9.
