I thought we could use a bit of light hearted fun. Basically a team made up of players who either didn't reach their potential with us, for whatever reason, or talent that left us (for good or bad reasons).
I struggled a bit with a genuine 13 and we had too much lost HB quality in Carney, Chase, Croft, and Hastings, so I went the Andy Gregory route, when he moved Crompton to 13, and put Jacko there.
Also, some of you will have a much longer memory than I.
1) Todd Carney - Ex-Dally M from FB
2) Kevin Locke - Shame he had demons
3) Joel Moon - He was quality, whatever we think of his exit
4) Scott Naylor - Great player
5) Nathan McAvoy - Shame we could keep this three-quarter line together back then
6) Brodie Croft - MoS
7) Rangi Chase - Mercurial on his day
8) Terry O'Connor - Shame we couldn't keep hold
9) Joey Lussick - Quality for us, an eye for the try line, and had a 40/20 in his locker up well.
10) Andy Coley - As with O'Connor, a shame we couldn't keep him
11) Gareth Hock - Top class on his day, shame about his issues
12) BMM - Team of the year
13) Jackson Hastings - MoS
14) Stefan Rathford - Quality Utility (could also go with Fages here
15) Josh Jones - Reached his potential with us before moving on... grass isn't always greener
16) ?
17) ?
I struggled thinking of props for 16 and 17. Remember Feliti Mateo playing a few games for us and he went on to be a good LF/SR/SO in the NRL, and I was really impressed by his short stint with us. There's also Homesick-Hudson. Hock could play prop with Mateo/Hudson in the back-row.
