Unfortunately I was too busy to participate but I challenged myself later. The Darren Burns question was annoying, tip of the tongue sort of stuff.

Plath was before my time and I barely remember any of the Hall of Famers other than Wally because he became noticeably less judgemental in commentary afterwards.

The Wigan vs. Broncos game was another that annoyed me because I was trying to remember the player - I just recall Joe Burgess burning Vidot down the sideline and that seemingly granting Maranta the wing spot sending Twitter into meltdown. Something Will? Big polynesian centre, may have even played for an NRL team at some point but didn't last long...

Old school BHQers will always remember Craig Frawley. I'm still gutted to this day they didn't award his try in THAT game against the Dragons. I was right there, the grounding was clean!!

2010 Origin was rough - Ennis (took a swing at Myles and then hid behind Grant or one of the big boppers), Boyd (got speared into the ground by LOD), Taylor (got head-butted by LOD after confronting the boof head), Bulla (missed Game I but may have played the rest of the series), Costigan (career best form), TLL (also in career best form, one of the Blues best around that time period, pretty sure he played...)

Ballin was a Broncos junior but never played first grade. 5/8 players and Lockyer, Folau and Thaiday all played. JYY was 18th man in Game II and earned the Keith award for taking a team photo with the shield. I'm prepared to say Hannant missed out that series after a really disappointing sophmore season at the Bulldogs. I remember arguing with somebody over at LU who claimed he was already better than Webcke...

In 5th spot, with a score of 22 is @1910.
Fun fact: 1910 would have won this by a mile, but a lot of his answers were too late. Sorry mate.

11. The team we set our single game highest points total in a match against.
Newcastle Knights (would have also accepted Halifax).

Wigan Warriors

13. The team that handed us our first ever defeat.

[Kimlo]

Well done @Santa

Thanks again @pennywisealfie fun way to kill time.

 

[ZTop]

Great works lads! And thanks @pennywisealfie

 

[MrTickyMcG]

Who were the headgear guys?

 

[ZTop]

Who were the headgear guys?

I'm sure Gillett wore headgear once, Mick Ennis was one

 

[ZTop]

And is Lockyer not in our hall of fame? Wow

 

[MrTickyMcG]

And is Lockyer not in our hall of fame? Wow

No inductees since 2012. Lockyer, Maranta, Milford in the next batch

 

[Big Pete]

Renouf, Matterson, D. Smith were a few of the obvious headgear players...

Barnes, Wyatt, Swain, Piakura are a few of the more obscure players that come to mind.

I had Renouf, smith, matterson, priddis (wrong). I also wanted to put Richard swain but wasn’t sure he played for us.
