Who was better ?

[WayneBennett]

big or small?

 

[typicalfan]

Ben Creagh v Ryan Hoffman

 

[WarriorDefence]

On form Hoffman- over their career I'd go creagh.
Terry Lamb or cliffy Lyons

 

[Desert Qlder]

Lyons and Lamb is a terrific comparison, one sure to divide.

Lyons was a true running five-eighth, with a wonderfully instinctive passing game that provided many a hole-runner with space to move. To his credit Lyons was able to perform well in the representative arena.

Lamb was known more for his support play, speed and all-round toughness. He too maintained career success over a long period.

My choice is Lyons on this one, only by a flyshit.

Pat Jarvis or Peter Kelly?

 

[eozsmiles]

Peter Kelly. He'll belt me if I say otherwise.

On some of the previous....

Craigie beats McG. 3 time Aust schoolboy.

Creagh. He might not fight but Hoffman can't either and he is tainted.

Cliffy was the slickest ball player and fun to watch, so he beats baa baa.

A good big one always beats a good small one.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Ben Creagh v Ryan Hoffman

Very good one mate. Prototype backrowers.

Creagh, but I'd happily take Hoffman if he wasn't available.

Loom for a big year from Creagh as Saints skipper. Very poor this year.

He'll bounce back.

Pat Jarvis or Peter Kelly?

Kelly - Simply for the fact he won the 85 GF.

They were both hard merkins in era of hard merkins.

 

[Leaguelegend20]

Matt Cooper or Mark Gasnier?

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Matt Cooper or Mark Gasnier?

Coops. His defense is worth more than Gasnier's flair in attack IMO.

Ivan Cleary or Matthew Ridge?

 

[Murf]

Ridge. Merkin, but ahead of Cleary.

Jason Smith or Darren Smith.

 

[WarriorDefence]

Both versatile- both great players but I gotta go Jason- very skillfull and could change the momentum of a game with attack or defence.
sonny fai or Adam ritson?

sonny fai or Adam ritson?

I dare not compare. Both had amazing potential.


Shaun Timmins v Neville Costigan (as forwards)

 

[Jason Maher]

Timmo. He was a much better back rower than a centre or five-eighth. Costigan had a really good season for us in 2010, but has been very inconsistent apart from that.

The chain-smoking five-eighths: Cliff Lyons or Jason Smith?

 

[typicalfan]

Cliffy although i have never seen a five eighth play with more time than Smith.

Darren Fritz v Danny Lee

 

[beave]

Fritz had a better mullet so I will go with him.

Scott Minto or Eion Crossan?

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Fritz had a better mullet so I will go with him.

Scott Minto or Eion Crossan?

Anyone is better than Eion Crossan.

He was so bad that he's famous twenty years after the last game of a very limited career.

Minto had some ability, which makes him an immortal by comparison.

 

[Ron's_Mate]

Best loose cannon/lunatic forward of the mid to late '80s
Mark Geyer or Steve Roach?

Mark Geyer or Steve Roach?

MG

Ruben Wiki or Gorden Tallis?

 

[Dogs Of War]

MG

Ruben Wiki or Gorden Tallis?

Hate comparing players who played different positions. Wiki was best as a centre.

If I had to chose one, then I take wiki cause he could do so many more things with the ball in hand and was a very durable Player.

Glen Lazarus or Paul harringon?

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Lazarus.

Chief was all heart, but I always thought he was a tad overrated.
