Plodder XVII

[God-King Dean]

I am making this thread to accept nominations for the Plodder XVII team.

I encourage you to name the plodders who play for your team. Their plodding deserves recognition.

Let me clarify plodder;
I am not talking about the good kind of plodder, the plodder that requires starch. I'm talking honest to god, genuine plodders. The kind of plodders, that plods onto the field, & just plods.

The plod forwards do plod hit ups & have plod impact.

The plod hookers throw plod passes.

The plod halves who just get the ball & kick the ball which just plods along the ground.

The plod fullbacks & wingers who plod back to pick the ball up, & give plod kick returns.

The centres who just stand out wide, add nothing in attack & make plod defensive reads.

And last, but certainly not least, the plod coach. The coach plods along to press conferences, gives rubbish excuses & picks the same players every week (usually plodders).

Coach:

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Good thread bro,you won't find the great Josh Dugan in this thread

 

[Kiwi]

Coach would have to be Griffin, all he does is cut and paste no matter the result we could lose by 50 every week and the team would be the same

 

[perverse]

Kurt Gidley in every position due to his great versatility and innate ability to compromise his teams chances from anywhere on the field.

Chris Houston in there somewhere, too. Never seen a guy lose so much talent over the course of a career.

 

[Twatface Magee]

Plodnasta

 

[The Pelican]

Martin Kennedy and Anasta two of the biggest plodders to ever pull on the RW&B.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Paul Stringer water boy

 

[oldmancraigy]

Prop: allgood (perfect plodder name), starling, white,
Halves: townsend and robson
Backrow: hinchcliffe,
Hooker: buttriss

Its a start

 

[Pete Cash]

There are a lot at the Raiders. Brett White, Terry Campese, Dane Tilse, Josh McCrone would be a good start. I am not sure I am willing to call Shillington a plodder. he looks like he is plodding along but comes back with great metres normally so he just has a look about him that attracts hate.

Bill Tupou is so plodding he got dropped from the plodding raiders.

 

[Jason Maher]

Dan Hunt. As captain. If there's a less effective prop in the game, I don't ever want to see him play.

 

[Pete Cash]

Prop: allgood (perfect plodder name), starling, white,
Halves: townsend and robson
Backrow: hinchcliffe,
Hooker: buttriss

Its a start

Buttriss has been ok this year but he is fat and slow which is the definition of plodder. Can anyone think of a slower hooker in the NRL ?

 

[bileduct]

Dane Tilse, Bill Tupou and Josh McCrone (has excellent utility value in this team).

David Furner as coach.

 

[Pete Cash]

Josh McCrone would have to start and be the captain. He is the personification of NRL plodder because he has played so many games and the vast majority of them in the most important position on the field.

Kurt Gidley, Travis Waddell. That's 2 just from my club alone.

If Buttriss wants in this team, it has to be on the bench for Derp Didley.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Joel Reddy

 

[perverse]

Blake Ayshford. Ben Pommeroy. Actually, the Sharks have had some real doozies.

hahah Travis Waddell he would be a good pick. He has the slowest service from dummy half I have ever seen. The opposition could boil an egg before they pushed up and still shut down the play a cm from where it started.

 

[Pete Cash]

As a Raider supporter I have had some shit coaches over the last few years but most plodding would be Matthew Elliot. He was happy to sign absolute plodders to limp into 8th rather than risk a year building. He is the most plodding coach the Raiders ever had and he brought in some absolute legends in the plodding game. If a player was plodding and old Elliot would have a contract ready for them.

It's unbelievable how slow his service is. It's like he puts shine on the ball like a cricketer or something before he passes it. Definitely the most plodtastic service I've seen from a bloke that has played over 50 games of first grade.

 

[Edwahu]

Tilse. He is about the only player who is both a metaphorical and literal plodder.
