Panthers All Time Second Row

This one will be interesting, you could make a pretty solid case for most of this list. I still have no idea who I'll end up going with.

 

[Bred not Bought]

John Cartwright should be an option.

Oh, shit, will fix that up now.

 

[MugaB]

MG and Martin should bash this in, Tony P would be very close, I'd have him as reserve

Cartwright and Martin for me.

Hoss was consistent, strong in defence and had a bit creativity. I used to love his one-handed off loads. He was a far better player than the erratic lunatic Geyer, and the lazy and inconsistent Puletua.
Never saw Ashurst.
Kikau and Lewis probably fight it out for 3rd place.

This.

Marto and Cartwright get my vote.

Marto No.1 I bloody love that guy.

 

[Hooked]

No room in the poll for our 1998 player of the year Matt Adamson

 

[ColdWetPanther]

I went Marin and Tony P. Loved the Hair Bears back in the day.

 

[snickers007]

I went Martin and Carty.

Would have loved to vote for Kikau or Puletua though.

Kikau at his best was a genuine match winner. Would bust tackles at will, had the offload, the occasional grubber. Seeing him with early ball against a retreating defence spelled trouble every time. Had a great charge down too. Probably not going to get many votes due to how we've gone since he left. Not that we replaced him easily, but more that we've adjusted.

Puletua probably had all the tools to be like Kikau, but we never had a coach or game plan to effectively utilise him in that roll. Even in 2003-4 when we were good, he was essentially another prop bashing it up the middle.

Tough bracket for sure.

 

[Fangs]

Mitch Achurch and Duncan MacGillivray.

Geyer and Pritchard close thread

l laugh at people picking Martin over those 2

Mav Geyer started to show some promise towards the end of the season, but needs to put in a few more good performances before being considered at this level.
