Him leaving for the upcoming season was always on the cards, regardless of the statements both he and the club made. As soon as Mitchell fell through for the Tigers, it felt inevitable. He'll be a massive loss for us and should be a brilliant acquisition for the Tigers. Even though he hasn't gained ...

I thought he came up with some fantastic tough carries in the GF.

I think he always makes fantastic tough carries, just when we seem to need it most. I've seen him countless times push teammates out of the way to make them too.

I think this is a great move by the club and I doubt we see BJ playing anywhere near the level he played at the Raiders again. Low football IQ and fitness issues means you rely heavily on 'Hail Mary plays' which is where BJ excelled. The biggest single factor for us this year is whether G.Williams ...

afgtnk

Eh, think he should just try and focus on nailing down a wing spot for the foreseeable future. Looked a bit at sea when he filled in at the back IMO.

afgtnk

I don't see how you can get away with not having a cover for the five backs on the bench with the current concussion rules. All it takes is one small knock and your entire game takes a hit accomodating a second rower in your backline. Same goes for hooker/halves (more so hooker, given the greater ph...

All that ended up from Super League was News robbing the game to the tune of hundreds of millions by giving us bargain basement deals, whereas FTA (Nine) was there or thereabouts in terms of market value afterwards.

That is really great act. Good man Curtis

afgtnk

Baptiste easily IMO. Provided a real danger to the opposition every time he came on and gave us something different. Loads of speed and could put on a real hit for a tiny guy.

afgtnk

I'm not sure we'll see George kick long much - that's seems to be reserved for Hodgson and especially Wighton, given the size of his boot. His short kicking game does seem to be a real strength, but he'll need to adapt to the faster defensive lines and getting closed down quickly. That's the differe...

Can't believe anyone would vote Bateman as a better second rower for us this decade than Papalii. Very disrespectful of Papa's contribution to the club. Ben Kennedy made an All-Time Manly Team they announced after playing One Season there. Sometimes the cultural and performance impact felt by an in...

afgtnk

I'm not too concerned about what he's going to do in the weekly grind of the NRL season. If we don't make it to the pointy end of the season next year it won't be because of George Williams. I want to see what he's going to do in the pivotal moments when we need someone with the right ability to sta...

Literally NO ONE. Not a single soul. Not one person. Has ever said this. All we're asking is that as defenders they arent so bad that they are constantly and relentlessly targetted to great effect, like Sam Williams and Blake Austin have been. That's it.

This myth of Aidan Sezer being a brilliant defender just keeps on growing and growing. He'll be Dean Lance wearing #7 in a few months time at this rate. As for George - I am quietly confident that he will suceed, based on what I've seen of his skill set. We will need to be patient though - new count...

He was indeed. Comfortably our best lock for the decade.

afgtnk

Even despite the year he's had, which was brilliant, how can Papalii possibly be in the top two props this decade given he's only been there for the one season? We're not exactly skint in the position like the halves. We're judging Shillington surely based off his total contribution, which IMO is fa...

afgtnk

The votes on these polls are all over the shop and become highly subjected to recency bias it seems.

Papalii has been our best second rower in the 2010s and it isn't even close. The best team of the decade shouldn't have him in a position where he's done so little of his work.

afgtnk

If Vidot had Cotric's intelligence he would've had 10-15 Origins under his belt, definitely.

Pity he had a crayon stuck up his nose for the entirety of his career.

afgtnk

Heres a harder one. Who is the other center besides Mal in the all time team out of Beej or Croker? It’s not difficult, Croker. Really don't think an all-time team should have players who haven't been able to muster a rep jersey in their career. Our current all-time team is littered with players wh...

afgtnk

Raps and Cotric head and shoulders above the rest of the pack, with Ed leading the trailing pack. Shame he's now mostly remembered for his last game with us despite being a very decent winger here in general and constantly on the cusp of rep selection. We still haven't replaced his speed.

Gary Belcher
Mal Meninga
Ricky Stuart

Please - get real. This **** has gone way too far.

Skill wise it's BJ and Ferguson, even though they're two right centres. BJ in form is genuinely one of the best centres in the game, and there was a time Sticky Fingers could lay those claims when he was with us - he was destroying teams at will. That being said, Fingers is in the Dugan pile, Wighto...

afgtnk

The more I think about it, the more I think a fresh BJ coming off the bench could be devasting in the middle of the field, with his carries against tired forwards. We all know the skill he has but to me the most significant part of his game has become his almost unmatched ability to get us on a roll...

I feel sorry for Tonguey that the end of his career was diminished by playing out of position. Oh definitely - wasn't his fault. Furner kept playing him there despite being woefully inadequate for the role, mainly because he couldn't address our long standing hooking woes or manage a roster to save...

He was truly horrible in that position.

Campese managed to have two purple patches in his entire career and that was it - second half of 2008 and 2010. Outside of that, he was an ordinary footballer. Even in the first half of 2010 he was poor and that's reflected in our ladder position. It's little wonder that we were dross for so long wh...

Given he last played on 16 November, would it be safe to say that George won't be starting pre-season until after the new year? Definitely not ideal prep if so, would've been great to get the whole off-season before he starts NRL. His conditioning will be the most important aspect of making a succes...
