This player or that player?

[Blindside Bronco]

Milford. At least he was elite for a couple seasons unlike Taylor.

Willie Mason or George Rose

Love a big Willy

Paul Kent or Antony Seibold...?

 

[ningnangnong]

Brent Tate or Justin Hodges

Both brilliant in their own different ways, but it has to be Hodges, doesn't it?

He had that innate ability to conjure something out of nothing, from anywhere on the field. When it looked like you were struggling, you'd throw it to Hodgo and hope some of his footwork and shimmys would dig you out of a hole. His run to the end of the season at fullback in 2006 was a thing of absolute beauty, and he had some extremely deceptive speed when he got going. Not to mention the amount of work he'd get through out of dummy-half - always putting his hand up for a run. A very intelligent player too, knew where to spot gaps and find weaknesses in the opposition's defensive line.

Tatey was a good egg as well, and as reliable as gravity, but Hodges just had a bit more brilliance and flair, which is what I like in my footy team. Ideally Tate and Hodges would be your centre pairing. Both strong runners who didn't shy away from hard work. Tate's many comebacks from his multiple injuries were bloody courageous too.

I think Blindside Bronco posted one, but they're not players, so I'll do a fresh one.

Clinton Schifcofske or Brett Hodgson?

They did both play rugby league....sort of...

Well then that's easy if we are going by their playing careers. Mr pie man

Clinton Schifcofske or Brett Hodgson?

Hodgson. He's remembered mostly for two unflattering moments, firstly this:

and throwing the wayward pass that Locky scooped on in Origin 3 2006.

Sort of makes it easy to forget he was one of the best fullbacks in the early-mid 2000's, a bit more in the kit bag than Clinton.

I could watch that gif all day.


Craig Wing or Michael Morgan?

 

[Mr Fourex]

I'd be interested to read each poster's justification for their selection, would make the thread more engaging. Or am I on my own here?

Agree Ning...pretty pointless otherwsie....

My reasons were Matt Cooper was smokin hot.

Craig wing. Also hot.

Brad Fittler or Laurie Daley

Brad Fittler or Laurie Daley

Both hunks but Fitler was great to watch when I was a kid. Favourite non-bronco when I was young.

 

[Harry Sack]

Fittler for mine, as above just a great player to watch.

Josh Morris or Brett Morris?

 

[theshed]

Fittler for mine, as above just a great player to watch.

Josh Morris or Brett Morris?

Whoops I forgot to ask the question. Cheers for covering for me.

Brett. I feel like he was great from day 1 where as Josh wasn’t that good until later in his career. Watch old dragon games, young B Moz was a quick mfer.

Sailor or Tiquiri ?

Big Dell ... always had a soft spot for him and great player

Shane Webcke or Petero Civoniceva

 

[Alec]

It's probably a controversial call, but Civo for me. He wasn't far off Webcke when they were both playing together, and then just exploded after Webcke retired (and unfortunately after the Broncos forced him out).

Tonie Carroll or Ben Kennedy

 

[Renegade]

Tonie Carroll or Ben Kennedy

I think it's a reasonable call. Webcke is Webcke but Petero was just a little more consistent for a bit longer. No sleight on Webbie though.

Another tough one - TC more versatile but BK was better at lock for a longer period. Huge influence on Newcastle and also at Manly. Probably BK.

Brett Finch or Todd Carney
