Your Favourite Players XIII

[slippery nipeel]

Hi Guys,

Lets see who can choose their favourite players in a team.

Here is the criteria for selection:

1. You can pick 13 players, plus 2 super subs.
2. You must specify who you support
3. You can only pick a max of 4 players that have played with your club at any stage of their careers
4. You need to try and pick players in a position that they played a fair bit of footy (i.e. Brad Fittler could be chosen at 5/8, lock or centre, but not halfback)
5. You must choose players that have played 1st Grade in the NRL, NSWRL or Superleague (during mid 90's)

Lydon
Offiah
Iro
Hanley
Carney
Filipana
Jones
Sculthorpe

McGahan

Cunningham
Fielden

Probably my best side as well, but of the foreign players, I always liked their stars the best as they were the only ones up to playing with the big boys. The rest of them were impostors.

[GC_Gladiator]

Supported broncos pre superleague, following the raiders but not intensely

1. Darren Lockyer (always gave something to cheer about)
2. Rod Wishart
3. Steve Renouf (Awesomeness personified, lets face, kids like the guys who scored tries, and he did plenty of that)
4. Darren Smith (Great in the centres at the broncos also)
5. Matt Rogers
6. Des Hasler (never saw him play that much, but the bio on the back of the footy card was epic)
7. Alan Langer ( i have like 6 autographs from him)
8. Artie Beetson
9. Jason Smith
10. Adrian Morely
11. Greg Bird
12. Tom Learoyd Lars
13. Brad Fittler

14. Cooper Cronk
15. Todd Carney

The super subs are laughable, but they're the players that i am enjoying watching develop atm. The others are self explanatory, the two second rowers i think are great to watch develop also. My two favourite players in the centres, with renouf being just the best there ever was and will be

On another note, was there ever a player you disliked.. like not for being a total wanker or anything, just because he was that good.

I always disliked Mullins, because he was Renouf's main contender for highest try scorer, and steve menzies as well.

Thats my team.
