Edge also had sterling kenny Ella put them in your side and even Hindy could play hooker
When Edge started in 1981 all three of those players hadn’t done anything yet and were basically rookies. In fact I’d argue that Moses, Brown and Gutherson were more established than Sterling, Kenny and Ella circa 1981.

Will they ever rise to be as brilliant sterling Kenny Ella in any of today’s teams that team wins the comp

if they win us a comp the majority of our supporters will consider them just as brilliant. Especially the millennials.
Pretty big if, they haven't look likely the last 3 seasons what have you seen that makes you think thats a possibly???? More just because????

Neither have the players that are leaving us yet you are carrying on like we have let future immortals go.

Works both ways. 😉
Most of the blokes we have let go all have their best footy in front of them, can you say that about the blokes we have signed or are looking to sign???

Simonson is a decent pick up at the right price, but he's just a winger. Sims is apparently a target we offered Papali unders yet are willing to sign a bloke like Sims who has always been a massive under achiever in club footy. His form for the saints has been bog average he has never put a club season of footy together like Papa did this year.

I get your point but Papa was an anomaly. Let’s see how he goes in 2022 before we compare him to someone like Hindmarsh. He could end up just being another Steve Sharp.

Papa showed plenty when he first burst on the scene and played for NZ at 19 i think. Playing for a shitty club and a few injuries he form stalled but here he showed what he was really capable of. He may not reach those heights at the Tigers but to say he'll be a one year wonder is just BS.

We will see. I however wanted him out of all others to stay. I couldn’t give a f**k about Mahoney. He is a good player but severely overrated and as I stated in another post I’d be looking at f**king him off to the Dogs early in 2022 and bringing in Hodgson early if the Raiders chipped in.

I never want to see that cauliflowered turncoat in our jersey ever again. I hope he gets smashed when we play against him.

lol talk about irrational, i love that it's all Mahoney's fault and nothing to do with the club at all. And if it wasn't just money and he wanted to leave you'd have to wonder why???

Edge was with us in 1980.

Hopefully he's a two-year wonder.

He was a f**king nobody when he came here and signed for less than $10k. The Dogs f**ked him off because he was shit. BA made him the player he is and they got within $50k of the Dogs offer and he kept stalling before the Dogs raised it again to trump it by $100k.

Yet it’s Arthur’s fault. That’s the rhetoric isn’t it?
