Tarzan/Jane players

[Deleted member 10972]

Players who "look like Tarzan, play like Jane" or in a similar sense...big blokes who hit the line like a cushion...

I'll get started with a few...

Antonio Kaufusi

Dane Carlaw

 

[The Colonel]

Justin Tsoulos

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Shane Tronc, stats are always good and his metres are up there but i still have never seen him make a complete line break and even be close

 

[Sanchez]

Brent Kite

 

[Blind Freddy]

Brent Kite easily the softest pillow in the game.

 

[Azkatro]

Willie Mason would have to be the quintessential example...

 

[MattJ]

Manase Manukafoa

 

[Homer's Bowling Ball]

David Shillington

 

[Sir Biffo]

Definitley William Mason post 2005.

Dane Carlaw was a great exponent of looking mean but doing nothing.

Mason post 2005 I agree with but Dane was better than most give him credit for. He won the SOO shield for QLD in 2002 and was great for the Broncs in their 2006 run to the GF...

 

[>zuzu<]

Jarrad Hickey.

Still has not hit his straps. Him and Tronc

 

[Sleep]

Willie Mason.

 

[Godz Illa]

Ben Smith.

He's actually a pretty huge guy, but hugely ineffective

A lot like Carl Webb, Dane Carlaw's origin career was built on one moment. In Dane's case, it was being in the right place at the right time. I mean, he ran over the top of bloody Jason Moodie with 5 metres to go ... I'm 180cm and 76kg and I reckon I'd give the firefighter a run for his money 5 metres off the line.

:lol: Jane Carlaw...ahh good times.

In all fairness Carlaw was fantastic in 01 and 02 before he was subdued by injuries. You'd be having a laugh if you believe his entire Origin run was defined by one moment - Carlaw was one of our better players through out that series.

 

[Big Pete]

For me though, I can't look past Bryce Gibbs.

Ashton Sims goes close and Joel Clinton was a special for this honor before the start of 09.

Paul McNicholas?

Or those great Sharks players...Tweddle and Wessels!

Shaun Wessels, my god I used to laugh at him playing lower grades for Manly.
