Team of 2006, Best of the Best

[1999]

closing out the rounding stages of the comp, i'd now like to see people's views of the best team over the home and away season as a comparison to the one's named at the half way point, mine would be something like this:

1. Brett Stewart
2. Jarred Hayne
3. Mark Gasnier
4. Justin Hodges
5. Greg Inglis
6. Johnathan Thurston
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Luke Bailey
9. Cameron Smith
10. Willie Mason
11. Nathan Hindmarsh
12. Ryan Hoffman
13. Ben Kennedy (c)

14. Petero Civenociva
15. Alan Tounge
16. Paul Gallen
17. Roy Asotasi

18th man: Robbie Farah

opinions?

 

[ledzep]

Why not pick an actual winger?
The only time Inglis has played wing has been one State of Origin match

 

[Bicey_18]

Inglis at Fullback
Carney on the Wing

Other than that.... not a bad side

 

[1999]

he was one of the best wingers with that one game all season, plus, on form u cant leave him out, and he's not established yet, he's played full back, centre, winger etc... so i think i can name him in any of these positions

 

[1999]

1. Greg Inglis
2. Jarred Hayne
3. Mark Gasnier
4. Justin Hodges
5. Brian Carney
6. Johnathan Thurston
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Luke Bailey
9. Cameron Smith
10. Willie Mason
11. Nathan Hindmarsh
12. Ryan Hoffman
13. Ben Kennedy (c)

14. Petero Civenociva
15. Alan Tounge
16. Paul Gallen
17. Roy Asotasi

18th man: Robbie Farah

I'm aiming to get a nuetral line up so we can agree on a top 18 for the year

1-Greg Inglis
2-Jarryd Hayne
3-Mark Gasnier
4-Justin Hodges
5-Brian Carney
6-Darren Lockyer

14-Alan Tongue
15-FuiFui MoiMoi (yes even with his suspension)

[1999]

...proberbly be harder than 1st thought lol

 

[mickdo]

Mogg ahead of Hayne on the wing :lol:

 

[1999]

johns ahead of cronk, i wonder if this bloke has been watching this year...

 

[Raider_69]

Mogg's 2006 season - Origin, not too far off MOTM in both wins
Hayne - Catching and falling over the line for 75% of his tries

Hayne is a good young player, but Adam Mogg's season has been better. But id select Brian Carney ahead of both to be honest

1. Schifcofske
2. Carney
3. Hodges
4. Gasnier
5. Inglis (cant leave him out and he did play wing)
6. Thurston
7. Cronk
8. O'Meley
9. Smith
10. Civenociva
11. Mason
12. Kennedy
13. Tongue

14. Asotasi
15. Gallen
16. Hoffman
17. Hindmarsh

 

[1999]

schif was the only player that was unlucky to miss out in my line up, but he should be in there somewhere i agree

 

[mickdo]

Mogg's 2006 season - Origin, not too far off MOTM in both wins
Hayne - Catching and falling over the line for 75% of his tries

Hayne is a good young player, but Adam Mogg's season has been better.

Oh please. Mogg has been playing in the centres for over half the year :lol:
And as for Hayne falling over the line for his tries... that's what being a winger can be about 75% of the time :roll:

:lol: :lol:

Oh wait....you're serious

:crazy:

Mogg is an average centre who had a blinder in Origin. Nothing more. Hayne is one the best talents to come along in a long while. Let's not forget the long range tries, the way he blew past Mick Hodgson at Canberra, the tries/dropouts he has created with kicks, most notably a try for John Morris, his defence (I;m sure Todd Carney and Nathan Merrit remember him all too well)...and that's just off the top of my head

 

[Raider_69]

Hayne has only been in FG for about half the year
Mogg has spent half the year at centre... call it even
and its still Mogg in Origin over Hayne catching and diving

in no way am i having a shot at Hayne, i rate the kid, but Mogg's had a better season, its that simple

 

[Raider_69]

:lol: like sharks to a drop of blood
seems nothing remotely negative is allowed to be said about Jared Hayne

Mate I just don't think the kid gets the credit he deserves from many on here. Comments like "he just gets a pass and falls over the line" are commonplace. It's a bit ridiculous given the things he has achieved this year...

I wouldn't call 'falling over the line' remotely negative ;-)

 

[1999]

i'll weigh in as a 3rd person with no bias, hayne sh*ts over mogg this year, take the green sunnies off raider

 

[lockyno1]

I'd choose Hayne over Mogg too. If Mogg has to get in, it has be at centre. That is where he has played this year!
