For me not necessarily always about on the field of play but :-


Steve Ella - stayed when the kiwis left and a joy to watch
Ray price / Wally Lewis - just for raising the clubs profile and media attention
Garen Casey (and a few others) without which we would not be where we are today

Like your selection Willzay. Obst certainly one of the best. His work rate was phenomenal. I once saw him make six consecutive tackles at the play the ball. Only other person that I've seen match that was Pita Godinet. Morrison was a big loss to this club. I would have liked him to stay in some capacity, ditto JD.

It's rare but I seem to remember Richard Slater doing that a few times too, he was a tackling machine!


In terms of my favourite overseas players I'd go with:

JD - his commitment to the Trinity cause was unquestionable
Solomona - absolutely oozed class
Sonny Whakarau - just one of my favourite players but I can't really say why

Wally Lewis...not called the King for nothing
Ray Price....absolute machine...gave 100% every game
David Solomona...pure class.

Trinity Legends, all 3

Hard one this but I always had a big soft spot for Obst, cracking player for us. JD and Solomona would be the others.
If we can count current players I'd have Fifita in as well.

Wally Lewis, Steve Ella, JD

There are so many more I'd like to add.

Ray Price stands out for me above all others, his heart was as big as they come, imagine the impact had we managed to secure him earlier on before his first retirement. Would have loved to see him stay on as coach.

Re: Favourite Overseas Player : Mon Oct 15, 2018 12:29 pm  

Wally Lewis - David Solomona and currently Big Dave

Re: Favourite Overseas Player : Mon Oct 15, 2018 1:50 pm  

Wally lewis --Best player ever to play the game

Garen Casey-Got us in to superleague .

Jason demetrieu- Trinity all through his body like a stick of rock

Re: Favourite Overseas Player : Mon Oct 15, 2018 2:39 pm  

Solomona at his peak was unplayable and had skills that I havent seen for anyone else in a Trinity shirt, so he would be my first choice.
JD - Trinity Legend
Ray Price- Tackling machine and as hard as nails

Nigel Bell - Trinity through and through and would tackle all day long and run his blood to water for Trinity.

Always thought Nigel was from Wakey mate.
