OPINION Anyone recall previous seasons where a team had two seasoned 7s in the same team in the Halves at the same time outside Origin?

I struggle to find it but my knowledge gets bad outside the late 2000s, anyone recall it happening at other teams?

I assume it's rare because you are talking about having 2 players of the most expensive position in the game in the same team with a salary cap which makes it very difficult to do.

The only comparison I can honestly make is Origin with Thurston and Cronk for QLD, nothing in club land actually has it from what I know of.

Sure there is plenty of examples of the inexperienced 7 playing 6 with the experienced 7 but never when both are basically similar status in the same team at club level.

I feel the idea of two 7s not working which has been put out there hasn't included a situation like this at all where you have two very established 7s in the same team.

Brett finch and Cooper cronk be the closest I think in 2010

doesn't help that the season was a write off from cheating though, but it seems to match the requirement atleast.

They would have came 5th just on results but it's hard to judge them just on that since they had nothing to play for.
