Who was better?

[Big Pete]

Stealing this from LU.

Name of the game is simple: Answer the question above yours (extra points for a good justification) before asking your own question.

Let's start off with a classic comparison...

Darren Lockyer vs. Andrew Johns

 

[pennywisealfie]

Johns...

kidding, Lockyer of course. Best player I've ever seen.





Ellery Hanley or Kevin Sinfield?

 

[Coxy]

Hanley. If not for Terry Lamb killing him, the Tigers would've won the title in 88.

Webcke or Civoniceva?

 

[Big Pete]

Ellery Hanley.

One of the most versatile and talented players of all time. Sinfield is a very good player but he never played in the elite competition, so points go to Hanley.

EDIT: Civoniceiva. Difficult to split, Webby was a bit more inspirational but Civo had the stronger rep. career and I believe was better in his peak years than Webcke. His form from 06-2010 made him the best prop in the game.

Jamie Lyon vs. Mark Gasnier

 

[Porthoz]

Lyon, because both are soft pussys, but Lyon can kick better...

Tuqiri or Folau?

 

[Son Edo]

Folau.

Hodges or Jennings?

 

[Coxy]

Hodges. He's not (as much of) a softcock.

Kevin Walters or Kerrod Walters

 

[Kimlo]

What do you mean as much of! Hodges is a beast, Jennings is a ****.

I have no player to select because I can't remember either that well so someone else can answer that one.

 

[Foordy]

Hodges. He's not (as much of) a soft****.

Kevin Walters or Kerrod Walters

Kevin Walters.

Langer or Toovey

 

[Porthoz]

Really?

Langer by the lenght of the straight, both bends and other straight!

Renouf or Sailor

 

[Professor47]

Toughest one yet but I have to with Renouf~ honestly saw Sailor more and loved him more... but... as a kid, I used to think Renouf was like GOD... I just remember him being lightning quick and scoring bucketloads... definitely my favourite back as a little kid.

Fittler or Daley?

 

[Coxy]

Daley. Fittler had a tendency to go missing in action. Daley never did.

Stuart or Langer

 

[Broncoman]

Alf just to avoid hatred, both were great players and were heavily influentuel at their clubs.

Paul "the chief" Harragon or Mark "spud" Carrol

 

[GCBRONCO]

Harragon, didn't get enough credit for his contributions to the Knights.

Greg Dowling or kevin tamati?

 

[Big Pete]

Temati didn't have the cat-like reflexes of good ol' Greggy.

Brent Tate vs. Willie Carne

 

[Coxy]

Temati didn't have the cat-like reflexes of good ol' Greggy.

Brent Tate vs. Willie Carne

Tough one. On skill and ability, Carne hands down. On sheer will and determination, Brent Tate.

I prefer skill and ability, so Carne by a nose and a mane of glorious hair.

Paul McGregor or Jamie Lyon

 

[Ari Gold]

Jamie Lyon easily. McGregor was tough and much more of a man, but Lyon is seriously so under-rated IMO. His ability to set up his winger is superb and he's such a leader in the Manly side. Plus in addition to being really good he's kind enough to not put his talents to use for NSW.

Shane Webcke or Petero Civoniceva?

 

[simmo77]

Webcke for his heart.

Halligan or el masri?
