Panthers All Time 14

[soc123_au]

Ok, this may cause a bit of angst, but breaking the bench up into a 14 and then will do a bulk one for the other 3 spots using the best of the rest forwards. This is to avoid ending up with a bench made up of Gower, Carter, Api & Luai for example, will include a few forwards here for those that prefer no utility. If any glaring omissions let me know & I'll add.

This is a toughie.

I want to go Gower but then I'd need outside back cover in the remaining three spots.

I like Garner but I don't think he is all time seventeen quality individually but as a member of the squad he was needed in the outside backs as injury cover in two winning GFs and was great in both.

Same situation with Capewell.

I guess 2010 Luke Lewis was the right body shape and still had the agility to play centre.

I'll add Critta just to make it harder, ha ha. Should have had him to start with really.

Critta while a great player is a waste of a bench spot (unless you're Freddy...)

A pure centre/winger on the bench is nerfing your forward interchange.

No Tyrone May or Peachy?

 

[Hooked]

Went Gower. He is the best on that list. Played Hooker and Halfback for Australia. Nice spark @ hooker for when Royce is off.
80's Brandy can cover any injury in the backs.

No Tyrone May or Peachy?

Can add if you like, I'm a Peachy fan, but no way he is on the same level as that list. May? lol. He was bog average after he did his knee.

I don’t really care mate, but I would have thought the 14 should be a bench hooker/utility player.

I’ll probably picker Gower anyway

The only 2 players in NRL history (1998 onwards) could come close to matching Luke Lewis as a 14. Craig Wing and Shaun Berrigan

I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not.

Surely you’re not being serious

Who you putting up near those 3?

Luke Lewis at hooker would be truely awful.

There are heaps of utility players that I’d put ahead of him.

I love Luke Lewis, but not at 14.

This is one of the worst takes in LU history. Truly impressive stuff

What the criteria here? we are talking ”all time” and carrying a second hooker was never a thing 10 years ago. If your looking for a 14 who can cover the backs and forwards then Luke Lewis is the perfect 14

 

[MugaB]

Gotta be romey, as much as I reckon gowers a good pick aswell, romey missed out on our 5/8th pick, and he has won 4 in row as our resident half, probably need to think of those who deserve to be there and can also sub on as whatever,
The poll should be 14-17, and just throw 20 names out there, best 4 are the bench, then nominate an 18th man for missed out honours

Was trying to avoid a bench of utilities.

Lewis will be on my bench, but not at 14.

Gower at 14 and Lewis with 2 middles pretty much covers every scenario at an elite level.

Lewis 100% Will be on my bench, but at 17.

I think the 14 needs to be a utility.
