Panthers all time Halves (read 1st post before voting)

[soc123_au]

Been giving this one a bit of thought as both positions can be interchangeable and some people will want the 2 best halves in the side, while others may opt for what they feel is a genuine 6 and a genuine 7. Doing both separately will most likely result in someones overall choice missing out on a vote as 5/8 as they wanted them at 7 or visa versa.

So 2 votes please. Players like Brandy will be listed as a 6 and 7 for example, so choose where you want him. I'm only doing the elite players as options for both due to size. I'd be shocked if anyone doesn't have at least one of the elites in either position anyway, so cant see it being a problem.

Hopefully I've made it a bit clearer than mud, ha ha, Have at it.

**Freddy is already in the side as a centre, so has been excluded.

I went brandy 6, cleary 7
It's a shame coz I want pick Romy Luai too, but you've only got 2 spots to fill 3-4 great Penrith players like
Steve Carter, Preston Campbell, Craig Gower
Surely they get some bench mention, ...
or the 18th man

 

[The yak]

Good concept.It gives everyone options. Whether a traditional halves pairing or a dream combo.
This is fun after all.
I went with the dream combo of Brandy/ Cleary.

 

[Munky]

Went Cleary Luai.

Alexander and Gower didn't do their best work wearing six whereas Jarome (spelling @soc123_au ) did.

His total wins in a Panthers shirt is incredible when compared to others who could wear the six.

Luai: 107/131
Carter: 126/243
Gower: 115/238
Alexander: 125/228

He's played one hundred less games than the others yet isn't far off their win totals as Panthers.

The dude is a f**king winner.

Cleary is untouchable for the seven.

Should we bother for a thread for no.13
Due to the untouchable YEOWEH

Not the right thread but his record as starting lock is something else.

I went Cleary & Brandy, but it was a hard decision based on what you have said. Luai I'm thinking bench or 18th man, as he 100% needs to be in the squad somewhere.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Went Brandy and Nath. Gower and Luai unlucky.

Also loved Sowie here and Moylan wasn't played in the 6 until it was too late really.

Moyza was a very good fullback, especially when it mattered, game was on the line kinda stuff, his popping up in attack was legendary stuff, I remember a few games that went to the wire, moyza saved us a lot of times right at the death, heart attack finishes

 

[TheEroticGamer]

Voted Nate and Romey. Their win percentage says it all.

It's a valid point of view. It means we just vote for our four peat and threepeat heros. In win % terms, nobody is close. I have had the luck to have seen Brandy in his prime, he was graceful and so elegant. He could do anything Romey can do and was quite a bit faster and a better kicker. Put him in our four peat team and it's a cheat code. Brandy carried the Panthers for many a year.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

I voted for Steve ‘They Can’t Run Without Legs Heads’ Carter just to give him some love (glad to see someone else give him a vote also) because he gave everything to the Panthers, and wrinkled out every drop of skill he could to compete. Not the most talented, but a Premiership winning 5/8th, a SOO jersey and, until recently passed by the great, the most capped Panther ever.

But it should be Brandy. He was my favourite player growing up. Alongside Matt Rogers, the best mover I have ever seen on a football field.

And at halfback there is no competition. By the time he finishes, Nathan will be considered the greatest player to ever play the game.

Oh there’s a spot for Brandy in my all time team. Don’t worry about that. I want that gun off the bench torching tired defenders. Then again come to think of it Luai could be best for that. Either way, shit’s going down with those three.

 

[Thirsty Panther]

So I could have Nathan at 6 and Nathan at 7. That would be an interesting side

 

[Buzzard Breath]

I have been vacillating on this one. On one hand we have our greatest halves partnership in Luai/Cleary. On the other hand our two greatest halves ever are Brandy and Cleary.

Brandy never played much 6 here, but he was a such a special talent it wouldn't matter what position he played. It feels wrong to leave him out of the starting side.
He is my six with the soon to be Goat at 7.

It's funny, having them both in the side, knowing that Nathan would probably nerf brandy or vice versa, as some halves can do, is pretty funny

 

[The Teach]

I went Romey 6, Nathan 7....hard to argue their winning percentages....but could have easily gone Scarter/Brandy as well.

That was a tough call

 

[Whino]

Went with the best.
Brandy and Cleary.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Brandy & Nate.

 

[Fangs]

Matt Rodwell and Brad Drew IMO.
