4. This is the only one i cant pick a stand out
5. E. tonga
6. roberts

10. moi moi
11. hindmarsh
12. matuia
13. smith

14. keating
15. poore
16. allgood
17. shackleton


i left burt out because i cant justify him in the team when we have a better kicker in sandow. His work rate does not cut it at all for a first grade spot

I agree with you spartan about the number 4 spot, I think that'll be a contested spot. As much as Burt's work rate is low it shouldn't be up to wingers to make metres and he makes up for it in his finishing skills, backup play making, and footy smarts.

Strengths = Front row, fullback, improved halfback
Weaknesses = Backrow, outside backs

Interesting, do you plan on cloning Poore, and then dropping Moimoi for said clone?

tbh we should clone fui .... he'd make a damn fine storm trooper

My mistake, Moimoi in the starting side.

I reckon our 1982 team was our strongest, just pipping 1983, with 1981 coming in a close 3rd.
'86 was the best defensive mob. They just had a little less flair.

I've only read the heading but why is our strongest team out ?

I'm only guessing Tony but I reckon because most of them have retired. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Congratulations. I've a fully signed 2001 JERSEY.

I've got a fully signed '09 jersey, though it has Finch's signature on it which shits me since he was on the cheating merkins side in the GF.

A little hydrochloric acid should do the trick mate.
Just be accurate.

i've got a signed legends jersey but it doesn't have hindy on it

Suity

Correct, they are now out because they have retired. Jason Akermanis recommends not coming out till retirement.

It's not a Legends jersey without Hindy.

Suity,

I'd include our 77 team as well in there. We had 5 or 6 Australia Reps
