LU's Most Hated Team Of The Century - Five-Eighth

[WarriorDefence]

Lockyer

I was going to say Soward purely for his kicking routine but then I thought of Shaun Timmins who was picked at five eighth because St George didn't have anyone else and bugger me if the talentless gimp didn't end up playing for NSW

My goodness he was awful at five eighth. He was about as useful as Ben Creagh would be in that position - but then he went and wallpapered over the gaping cracks in his game by kicking a winning field goal in Origin game, which almost made me not despise the gimp.

Mind you - he was a decent lock forward - so he goes in the Greg Bird category. But Bird is by far the better five eighth. Hell, John Sutton is a better five eighth than Timmins.

Now you understand why us Saints fans hated Brown as coach. I don't recall ever seeing Timmo pass the ball. He was a decent back rower, and did tremendously well just to play again after his 18 month layoff due to a bad knee injury. How he ever wore the 6 for us is beyond me. How the Blues selectors were conned into following suit is one of the enduring mysteries of the cosmos.

you put Fittler, who is one of the most respected players in the poll...and leave out Jamie Soward...oh dear lol.

The poll was created in 2008.

Roy and HG got it right "The Brown polish" :lol:

So glad to hear a Saints fan echo my thoughts - I knew you lot were ok

 

[Jason Maher]

I most definitely do not echo your thoughts. You hate Timmo, for whatever reason, whereas he is one of my all-time favourite players and street sweeper operators.

The Crab. NSW legend!

I'm surprised there is not more Lamb hate in this thread.

 

[firechild]

Probably only a reflection of the fact that most people that hate Lamb (which would be the vast majority of league fans) hate Mundine more. I hate Daley and Lamb but the only real option was to select Mundine.

This is a 'Team of the Century' most hated, and only players from the last, what, 20-30 years?

Needs more Robert Fulton.
Great player, loathsome human.
