So all the talk is on each club allowing one "seasoned" player making a return to play in the tournament in 2015 and I was just wondering who you guys and gals would like to see pull on the purple pride once again?
I mean how old is too old these days?

My top 3 would be
1 geyer
2 bai
3 hill ( I watched him in a 7's rugby tournament 2 weeks ago in sydney and he still very fit and ball playing exeptionally good!!)

Some other options providing injuries post-career haven't had too big an effect are:

Steve Turner
Aaron Moule
Matt King
Matt Orford
Brett Kimmorley
Richard Swain
Tasesa Lavea

Dreaming I know, but, forcing clubs to play certain players is stupid to begin with so I figure I may as well fantasise - Bai would be the most entertaining though.

That would be one of the main factors. That and who either still plays in a lower grade comp or remains in good physical shape. It is a good idea in principle as everyone loves the nostalgia that watching older players playing brings (most people enjoyed the Fitler intercept for example) but if it is also a serious competition, you can't just pick any player because you have fond memories of them.

Menzies is the perfect "type" of player/situation (from an on-field performance perspective). Did not stop playing footy but had been away from the NRL so you still get a sense of nostalgia.
