Your Broncos greatest ever XVII

[Black Philip]

[MENTION=8423]Sproj[/MENTION] rolled out his greatest XVII in another thread, I figured it's a topic deserving of its own discussion. So who makes your greatest ever Broncos XVII?

For me...

1. Lockyer
2. De Vere
3. Renouf
4. Hodges
5. Sailor
6. Walters
7. Langer
8. Webcke
9. Walters
10. Civoniceva
11. Tallis
12. Thorn
13. Parker

14. Lazarus
15. Gee
16. Carroll
17. Thaiday

There's a few players that carved up in the 90's that are hard to leave out, but I'm pretty happy with that side.

 

[Sproj]

You can't not have Berrigan in there, he was the best utility of all time.

mine again:

1. Lockyer
2. JYY
3. Renouf
4. Hodges
5. Sailor
6. Walters
7. Langer
8. Webcke
9. Walters
10. Lazarus
11. Tallis
12. Thorn
13. Parker

14. Berrigan
15. Civoniceva
16. Carroll
17. Thaiday

Too good for the team: Minto

honourable mentions: De Vere, Miles, Tuqiri, Tate, Boyd, Gillett, Cann, Gee, D.Smith, Folau, Priddis (actually he'd go very close to 9 over Walters in my book but that would probably cause an uproar), anyone else I've completely forgotten about.

If we do this again in a couple of years then Gillette might make the team.

 

[Black Philip]

Really surprised at people putting Yow Yeh in their teams. He was destined to be a star, there is no doubt about it, but his career was cut way too short for him to feature in our all time greatest team IMO. And if I have to include Berrigan I'd probably have him at hooker over Kerrod Walters, hard to leave out either of them though.

I understand what you are saying but Hancock annoyed the crap out of me with his cross field running so for me it was between JYY and Folau. I don't think there was anything between them ability wise but Izzy walked away from rugby league greatness while JYY had it stolen by cruel fate. I guess I went with my heart in the end.

 

[Sproj]

Tuqiri was better than Hancock anyway but JYY would have been a legend if not having it all taken away from him which was completely out of his control.

 

[Renegade]

Tuqiri was better than Hancock anyway

not in a Broncos jersey he wasn't.

I understand it's a "your team" thing which means people can put who they like and that's totally ok, but statements like the aforementioned just aren't true. You probably don't remember much of the 90's if that is your opinion.

I do. Hancock was very good but couldn't do the things Tuqiri could. Tuqiri was the prototype Fijian winger everyone craves these days. You are more than welcome to your opinion though as mentioned.

 

[Renegade]

Hancock won 5 premierships, scored the third most amount of tries in our clubs history and is 3rd on the list of overall apps. That's a lot of things Tuqiri couldn't do.

Edit: I'm dropping this, you're welcome to the last word and opinion as it's your side - sorry Sproj. :)

Yeah as we both agree, its a matter of opinion. Regardless, JYY would have been better than both had he not had it all taken away from him so he is my pick anyway. :)

No love for De Vere?

No love for De Vere?

Remembering the great players from the past is actually a fun way to spend the off season. You are right. De vere was really good for us. Tough player who never let us down.

The team I picked was who I thought were the best players to have played for us not necessarily the ones who contributed the most to our club. If that was my criteria I would have put in Kevvie Walters and De vere.
