Vote for two of the six options above.

If you vote other, please use this thread to elaborate.

Does Jharal really belong on that list? Yeah, we are all sad he retired, but there's no way he was in the same class as some of the listed, or as long serving as the others. His 09 and 10 weren't exactly impressive.

 

[Porthoz]

I assume Folau didn't play enough games in Broncos colours to qualify...?

 

[Big Pete]

I voted for Hancock and Sailor.

Michael Hancock epitomises everything I like about this club. An absolutely stubborn player who refused to yield in any physical confrontation and when Bennett told him his time was up at the Broncos, Hancock made it his mission to prove him wrong and did so. Not the most athletic nominee, but certainly the most determined who forged a tremendous legacy at a very proud club.

Dell is the most egotistical player I've ever seen but the incredible thing is he was able to back it up. His 2000 is as good as I've seen from any winger, period and some of those performances, particularly against the Saints who he seemed to love to play against were absolute joys to see.

 

[Super Freak]

Easy choice.

Hancock & Sailor.

Is in the Top 5 for most games played on the wing at the club, was able to qualify for Test and Origin football on his merits and is seemingly holding his own early.

Of course he qualifies.

I assume Folau didn't play enough games in Broncos colours to qualify...?

Only played 9 games on the wing for the Broncos.

Considering people are questioning the credibility of Jharal Yow Yeh as a nominee, the likes of Folau were always going to be hard pressed.

But members are welcome to vote 'Other' and include him.

Really? I would've sworn he played many more. Fair enough then...

Hancock and JYY for me it is. Not dismissing Sailor or anything, as he was excellent of course, but JYY is an inspirational player imo, Sailor... not so much!

 

[GCBRONCO]

Hancock and Sailor, Carne third and was an absolute excite machine before the head knocks.

 

[Nashy]

Other. Minto.

 

[Big Pete]

Other. Minto.

Yes, yes he does. I don't even see how its an argument.

 

[Nashy]

Stu Kelly?

 

[Broncoman]

I voted for Sailor and Tuquri. Possibly the best wing combination we've had both were supreme wingers who had speed and strength and could destroy any team on their day. During the 2000 season they scored a combined total of 36 tries.

 

[Renegade]

Hancock and Sailor, no contest, next.

 

[Huge]

Hancock was impressive no doubts as was Sailor. What jumps out when you look at the nominee list is that between 2002 and 2009 we had no one who could qualify ! 7 years of Bronco wingers and nada.!

 

[CaptainHook]

Han**** and Sailor, for mine.

 

[Robbie 'Robster' Daly]

Thanks for doing this Pete.

Can you guys help him by making a list of the best Centres for the Broncos??
