Team of 20 Years

[sallymay]

where did you get that from?

[Bullucked]

Official nominees out today:

Fullback - Slater, Ross, Munster
Wing - Bai, Geyer, Folau, Vunivalu, S.Turner
Centre - Inglis, Chambers, King, Folau
Five Eighth - Hill, Inglis, Widdop
Halfback - Cronk, Kimmorley, Orford
Hooker - Cam Smith, Swain
Prop - J.Bromwich, Kearns, Lazarus, Howe, Lima, White
Second Row - Kearney, Hoffman, Kidwell, Harris, Crocker, Proctor, Williams
Lock - Johnson, Nikau, Finucane, Hinchcliffe

I'm very interested in the way the list of names are laid out in each position. ie, they're not alphabetical. I'd almost suggest the first (and second where's there's more than one position) named will be the final list. And, I think I'd almost be cool with that, with the exception of lock where I can't make my mind up out of the first three named. Nikau my absolute favourite, Johnson for longevity and dependability - in defence, or Finucane who's probably the best of all three. This is the problem of comparing different era's, even within twenty years.

Fullback - Slater
Wing - Folau, Vunivalu
Centre - Inglis, Chambers
Five Eighth - Widdop
Halfback - Cronk
Hooker - Cam Smith

Or maybe we could just have a "devastating" team! And geez some spots are hard select.

5/8 - Hill

2nd Row - Kearney, Hoffman
Lock - Johnson

Suli misses out because he’s only had a short amount of time in first grade. Really the only position I was tossing about was 2nd Row, I wanted to put Tohu in but I couldn’t leave either Kearney or Hoffy out.

Disappointing we can't vote on it but here's the panel -

Head Coach Craig Bellamy, Football Director Frank Ponissi, CEO Dave Donaghy as well as inaugural CEO John Ribot and rugby league greats Greg Brentnall and Roy Masters head up the panel charged with the task of selecting the side.

[Mattpoet]

I agree, would have liked to at least have input into the nominations.

[Danger D]

Will they be naming 2 wing and 2 centres? Or will it be more like the Daly M team where there's only 1 of each?

[Mattpoet]

Naming a full 17 I believe.

[Cameron]

Gee there are some tough decisions there. Hard to rate one era vrs another. Hard to rate one player vrs another.

[steaming stormer]

Geez it's tough for the forward pack! I have named in positions, with the only query being back row... the two back rowers for me play the same side... if picking by side, Hoffman takes the bench spot and I'd start Tohu

1. Slater
2. Geyer
3. Chambers
4. Inglis
5. Bai
6. Hill
7. Cronk
8. Bromwich
9. Smith
10. Kearns
11. Hoffman
12. Kearney - both play 12 so if picking left and right, Hoffman misses out
13. Nikau

14. Hinchcliffe
15. Tohu
16. Lazarus
17. White

[sallymay]

[Mattpoet]

[Lucas]

Not having Marcus Bai in your side should almost be a bannable offence
