Did a Shark take one of your legs off or something?

Ryan Hoffman - Storm- I think it's starting to dawn on people that he's pretty good as the Storm get more #9 coverage, commentators starting to pick up on it too

Ever since he beat the Dogs in the final seconds I've been watching him and he's a good player with a lot of will to win. From what I've seen he's a good outside ball runner with good defense too ( who doesn't defend well at the storm this year though....) and plenty of heart and stamina

Representative time for Ryan soon I think

Nathan Merritt and Luke McDougall(Will Star for the dragons in 2007)

 

[Jasestorm]

Forward- Jeremy Smith or Brett White
Back- Steve Turner

Now there's a name for a MOST overrated thread, but that's not a cue to start one of those for God's sake.

Ryle's is not overrated. Everyone knows now that he is a cat, except a minority of dragons fans.

Shane Rodney

Easily Penrith's best forward whenever he has been on the park. Quite an achievement when you consider the internationals playing around him.

Ryan Hoffman will be a STRONG contender for the Tri Nations squad at the end of the year, along with Mick Weyman...

Andrew Johns

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Plenty.

Laffranchi, Hoffman, Stosic, Troy Thompson, Tongue, to name a few.

Hornby is my biased nomination, but still an absolute standout.

 

[Scott]

Tony Grimaldi is very underrated. He does all the work that goes un-noticed.

If I was a Bulldogs fan, i'd be desperate not to lose him.

Darren Mapp

 

[Harold Bishop]

Chris Hicks - a lot of opposition fans think he is a nuffy, but makes plenty of line breaks and knows how to tackle.
Luke O'Dwyer - Has improved out of sight, i would say he has been the Eels best centre all year.

1.Back: Jeremy Smith
2.Forward: THe Tongue!

 

[Mal Meninga]

forward - hoffman/any tigers player
back - cronk/any tigers player

 

[miccle]

Forwards:
Alan Tongue - self explanatory.
Dean Young - I know a lot of people rate him highly, but IMO this bloke is a deadset star. I'd have him at the Broncos in a hearbeat. Great player.
Aaron Payne - Won't get in to rep teams due to Buderus and Smith, but is a VERY clever hooker.

Back:
Cooper Cronk - Great organiser, has the whole package. Awesome player.

 

[Nutzcraw]

Back - Chris Hicks
Forward - Alan Tongue

Nathan Merritt leading tryscorer.......

I like this topic, Dean Collis, Hoffman, Tongue, Payne (would the QLD hooker if Cameron Smith was injured).

What about Matt Geyer? He's versitile, even though he's on the wing, he seems to get involved in attack and come up with some good plays. Never puts a foot wrong.

Someone mentioned Craig Stapleton. I agree, he makes good yards, agressive player too. I was impressed with him at Parramatta.
