BHQ Countdown: Most Loved/Least Liked Players Reveal thread

[pennywisealfie]

Hunt and Thaiday together. Definitely Bookhaki happy hour. At Alhambra Lounge anyway. Just need Boyd for the full compliment.

Now that you mention it, Darius was in the corner of my room filming me as I posted this entry.

Thorn was a total legend at everything he did.

Kelly, I am surprised he played that many games for us. I remember really excited when he came to us from Parra I think but he never really lived up to the hype. He was serviceable and wasn't Manyerror, so that was a win.

 

[BroncosFever]

Hard to dislike Brad Thorn, just a winner in all walks of life.

I asked what Thorn said last week- Bash em early; score points late.

Thorny out.

Can we get him in the sheds every week? So much love for the big fella!

He was in the coaches box with Kev last week.

 

[LittleDavey]

He was in the coaches box with Kev last week.

Yeah I know - I want him there every week!

Obviously not possible with his other commitments, but geez I'd love him on the coaching staff.

Love Thorney .. one of the great broncos

Position: Front Row

Highest Vote: 5 (Allo)

 

[Fozz]

Oooofff. Poor Joel. That was a clustfuck by WB to not meet Petero's demands. Penrith won that deal by a large margin.

 

[Sproj]

Berrigan was an absolute legend, the truest 14 in every sense of the word, he could play everywhere at a very high level, such a gun and I was gutted when he left us.

Clinton - biggest contract screw up in club history and we've had a few. But to lose Petero for that guy, goodness me.

 

[Mustafur]

To this day it still hurts seeing Petero in a Panthers Jersey, should have never happened.

Barrigan was such a good player, crucial to our GF win in 2006, kind of like the Ben hunt of that era but with even more ability to play different positions.

 

[BooKhaki]

It's the Bookhaki happy hour (although, I agree with his choices)

16. Sam Thaiday

Highest Vote: 1 (Bookhaki)

Seems I have quite the say in what goes around here.

 

[Nashy]

Petero leaving was, and will always be a blight. Absolutely legend of the club.

Berro was awesome too. 2006 GF he was incredible.

 

[Kimlo]

Berro was one of the best. Loved him.

 

[ningnangnong]

I was gutted we lost Petero, but I hold nothing against Joel Clinton.

The bloke wasn't anywhere near as good as Petero, but he always put in and ran hard. I think he copped it a lot harder than most other players because we lost Petero at the same time he joined.

 

[Morkel]

The worst part was, we refused to pay Petero what he was worth, even though he had been promised it. But to replace him we ended up paying Clinton what Petero was asking, so it was a futile exercise in the end, and we not only lost a club legend, it was arguably the beginning of our downfall.
