Brian Carlson for my next pick. Cant believe he lasted this long, also gives me my team a second kicking option behind Eric Simms

2 Ken Irvine

5 Chicka Ferguson
6 Brett Kenny
7 Arthur Summons
8 Arthur Beetson

[BoyBrumby]

Me for two, yes?

Will complete team with the sadly late Steve Rogers in the centres & big Wendell Sailor on the wing.

1. Graham Eadie
2. Martin Offiah
3. Steve Rogers
4. Mick Cronin
5. Wendell Sailor
6. Wally Lewis
7. Andy Gregory
8. Jim Mills
9. Noel Kelly
10. Dane Sorensen
11. Gorden Tallis
12. Les Boyd
13. Ellery Hanley

Particularly like the look of my pack, it must be said. No-one's taking liberties with those boys. Mick Cronin gets the tee, with Eadie as more-than-decent back-up.

 

[Johnners]

NUFAN already has Gene Miles, round 8.

Bollox, I checked twice too. Eyesight or brain going or more likely both.

Has Steve Rogers gone then? Couldn't see him in list...

 

[Johnners]

He's all yours

 

[Simon]

Steve Rogers was picked by Pinchy early on so you cant have him.

Ah, **** me. How am I supposed to know that if he's not listed?!!

Israel Folau?

 

[chaminda_00]

Simon, Speirz and Blewy up?

I get the feeling I've leant to much towards favourites rather than talent in the backline, nothing I can do now though.

 

[Simon]

Israel Folau?

yeh should have left them in. Sorry

 

[Simon]

Terry Randall as my final pick, backs are definitely stronger than the forwards but they are still gun.

1 Eric Simms
2 Ken Irvine
3 Graeme Langlands
4 Brian Carlson
5 Chicka Ferguson
6 Brett Kenny
7 Arthur Summons
8 Arthur Beetson
9 Ben Elias

Mark Geyer - There probably are a few better 2nd rowers still left available, but MG is such a champ (imo of course). Love his work on Talkin' Sport of an afternoon, and as an added bonus for my squad, he teams up with former Penrith teammate John Cartwright.

Reckon I've managed to get a reasonably balanced line-up, although my backline is probably the stronger point. Quite happy I managed to snare as many of my favourites as I did as well (Renouf, Sing, Fittler, Buderus, Harrogan, MG, Clyde)

1. Gary Belcher
2. Dale Shearer
3. Steve Renouf
4. Mark Coyne
5. Matt Sing
6. Brad Fittler (c)
7. Ricky Stuart
13. Bradley Clyde
12. Mark Geyer
11. John Cartwright
10. Craig Young
9. Danny Buderus
8. Paul Harrogan

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah Clapo you have a fantastic lineup.

Coyne and Cartwright were not that great but I mean Coyne finished off the best try in origin history so he gets a bonus point. I'm pretty drunk but will find a prop to add to my team shortly.

 

[NUFAN]

Rod Morris.

1 Keith Barnes
2 Kerry Boustead
3 Harry Wells
4 Gene Miles
5 Eddie Lumsden
6 Garry Schofield
7 Keith Holman
8 Glenn Lazarus
9 Steve Walters
10 Rod Morris
11 Harry Bath
12 Norm Provan
13 Johnny Raper

Love that pack - no-nonsense, no arguments there.

Also, despite Rogers having been taken, your centre pairing nominated in that post still rates imo as the best ever for Australia since I've been watching, despite plenty of other great players being in the mix.

 

[chaminda_00]

Ray Branighan. Haha one of the most under rated centres of all time. Along with Bozo formed the greatest club centre combination of all time. There were a few better on at SOO level though.

Backs on paper for those that don't know their history, probably look better. But its the forward I really love. Especially the two war horses that kept the Dragons going in the 50s.

Love all the players in my side, full my favs.

1. Matthew Ridge
2. Tim Brasher
3. Ray Branighan
4. Bob Fulton
5. Andrew Ettingshausen
6. Laurie Daley
7. Billy Smith
8. Roy Bull
9. Max Krillich
10. Billy Wilson
11. Ben Kennedy
12. Kevin Ryan
13. Mal Reilly

Do I get my final pick yet?
