Skando for mine.
Josh Hannay or Shannon Hegarty
Might have a few that disagree but I think Gasnier at his peak would rip Pearl a new one. Gasnier could create and set up well and would often need 3/4 defenders on him. Pearl was great but benefitted alot from his great halves inside him. Plus he was pretty ordinary at origin level.Hegarty could finish alright for the roosters. Hannay was a strange one he seemed to have good matches then just disappear for weeks. Hegarty for me.
Mark Gasnier or Steve Renouf

Mark Gasnier or Steve Renouf
Pearce. I felt Taylor for all his attributes had big liabilities. Mitchell is overrated but a more complete player imo and his best is yet to come.
Karmichael Hunt or David Peachey.
I am a LOD fan. I think he was better.The Pearl. Although it must be said they are similar type running players, Renouf's speed off the mark, swerve/fend and hole running eclipses the code-betraying toey human.
The Peach. Karmichael wasn't a dangerous weapon except in his rookie season but was as safe a fullback as they come. But Peachey was a dead set menace every time he touched the pill and defensively he was rock solid as well.
Luke O'Donnell or Jeremy Smith?
Brasher but if this was who i would prefer to watch Mullins would just about beat anyone. Brasher was the better support player though. O'Davis for the second one and based on pure ability Nadruku for third although you could make a case easily for Nagas. Nagas was similar to Peachey in his graceful running style.Brett Mullins or Tim Brasher
Matthew Ridge or Robbie O'Davis
Noa Nandruku or Ken Nagas

Ashley Harrison or Shaun Timmins
If it wasn't for Hayne and his slow play the balls and unnecessary cut out no look passes this would be easy. Still Hayne though.I would take Harrison , Timmins knee's gave way too early in his career
Ewan McGrady or Jarryd hayne

Luke Stuart or Glenn Morrison
Brett Mullins or Tim Brasher
Best to ask a Balmain fan for a fair and unbiased response.
Rod Wishart or Mick Hancock (overlooking that he kicked everyone)
