Which RL player from the ghosts of Christmas past would you like to see return?

[POPEYE]

Rod Wishart
Mick Hancock
Tawera Nikau

Nikau would intimidate the crap out of Burgess, SBW and Gallen...

Nikau, Jeremy Smith and Beau Scott rolled into one, he and Ron Gibbs in the same team would be something to behold

 

[Brutus]

I would have gone with ghosts of seasons past.

 

[Iafeta]

Cliffy. Any year. He was absolutely magical, his passing skills were outrageous. He was my favourite player prior to Auckland coming into the comp.

 

[GW.]

Souths= Mario Fenech, Luke Mdougall

Tigers= Ben Elias, Joel Caine.

Eels: Eric Grothe Jr, Ray Price, Peter Sterling

Bulldogs= Terry LAMB, Ewen Mcgrady, Gary Warburton

Newcasstle= Darren Albert, Andrew Johns

and any player that could pump the 100 in under 10.6 so a few randoms like Andre Frew and Lee Oudenryn.

3rd July, 1994. St George fans would remember that magical day.

 

[GW.]

Yeah cliff, owen craigie and tim smith 200 4 sure

 

[Tooooks]

David Solomona 2001
Adam Ritson
Feleti Mateo at his best

 

[Justafan]

The great Balmain, West and Parra legend.....Olaf Pratl

 

[Red Bear]

Of players I have seen, I reckon the team of people to see again would be

Brasher
Wishart
Gasnier
Girdler
Dallas
Florimo
Taylor
Petero Civinoceva
Buderus (through not being able to think of a single hooker I'm partinularly enamoured with seeing play again)
Larson
Adrian Morley
Billy Moore
Fittler

Fitzgibbon
Hindmarsh
Nikau
ET to cover basically any position

 

[Nugget10]

Tony Butterfield. Seriously One of my favourite props of all time. Nothing spectacular but was hard as nails and a player you could build a pack around.

 

[axl rose]

Cliffy. Any year. He was absolutely magical, his passing skills were outrageous. He was my favourite player prior to Auckland coming into the comp.

There was such a glut of great 5/8 in the early 90's Winnie Cup. All with slightly different styles. Cliffy with his magic hands, Daley with a great running game and could put a shoulder charge on. Terry Lamb, tenacious with great backing up. The list goes on.

 

[Spanner in the works]

In more recent years:

Lockyer
Brasher
Sing
Timmins
A. Walker
Fittler
Johns
Webcke
Swain
Harragon
Morley
Kennedy
Clyde

Wiki
Nikau
Fletcher
Wing

 

[cooko]

Craig Salvatori.

He and JWH would be the scariest front row ever... And most likely suspended.

 

[Fibroman]

1. Graham Eadie
2. Grothe Snr
3. Kenny
4. Meninga
5. Chicka Ferguson
6. Phil Blake
7. Brandy Alexander
8. Sam Backo
9. Mark Bugden
10. Dallas Donnelly
11. Les Boyd
12. Gillmeister
13. Brad Clyde

 

[Dufmack]

Young and lanky Josh Dugan.

 

[tumbidragon]

Young and lanky Josh Dugan.

But don't you see the genius in making him heavier, slower and putting him at centre?..

 

[Dufmack]

But don't you see the genius in making him heavier, slower and putting him at centre?..

More entertaining for opposition fans, well see if that genius is recognised in a nice coaching contact.

 

[The Engineers Room]

Peter Sterling...with the current Eels team they would be awesome, just the thing they are lacking at the moment is someone to lead the team around.

 

[Jason Maher]

Tim Brasher 1992-1996
Paul Sironen 1986-1992
Greg Alexander 1986-1990
Simon Dwyer
Taniela Tuaki
Adam Ritson

Hmmm what Panther would make all the difference to the current side.

You'd have to pick Brandy, circa 1985, who was a magician really, and still only a kid.

Or someone to toughen up the forwards, a Geyer or a Matt Goodwin.

Or someone who inspires, such as a Chris Mortimer, who I believe played his best football at Penrith.

No love for Brandy circa 1991? I know Ewan McGrady and Mick Potter won the official awards, but Brandy was the best player that year, for mine. Though I will admit bias: he was my favourite non-Steelers player.

Martin Lang.

[Sydney Knight]

I'd like to Tony Cossato in the modern game. He was ahead of his time.
