I didn't say the Hay/Ford/McLarron combination was insanely productive and it would also be insanely productive in super league, obviously it wouldn't, I was just making the point that I enjoyed watching them play.

Imagine Szostak/Menzie/Finigan against that same opposition.

I don't think you're getting the point Tim I'm not denying that we've had more skilled left flanks, I'm just saying I enjoyed watching them for their sheer productivity and scoring power, every time the ball went down the left that season you felt four points were imminent. That's not to say Szostak/Menzie/Finigan wouldn't have also scored a lot of tries in NL2, or that Hay/Ford/McLarron would be as effective at this level, I'm just simply (or apparently not so simply ) making the point that I enjoyed watching them play and score tries.

Tim - your favourite player is just the one you like most. His ability is just one of many factors.

I know, it's just that I think that you have to weigh up who they're playing against when you consider them in a single list.

Obviously that's just me and I'll shut up.

You could possibly break the Eagles history into separate eras and pick some from each.

How about:

Early years (84-90): Didn't really see any of this, can't say
Pre-Super League(91-95): Tubbs/Powell
Super League: Keef Senior, Hardy, Shaw, Sovatabua
NFP/NL2: Weller, Bruce, O'Reilly
CC: Yere, Stringer, Howieson

Re: Who's your favourite throughout the era's? : Wed Apr 27, 2011 5:04 pm  

In my time watching id say that my fave players were:
00-03: O'Reilly & Weller
04-06: Andy Smith & Mitch Stringer (first time round)
07-10: Brendon & Menzie

Re: Who's your favourite throughout the era's? : Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:43 pm  

For me it's;

02-05 - Poynter & Bruce

2006 - Ford, Worrincy & Gav Brown

07-10 - Lindsay, Woodcock, Jack, Mitch & Menzie
(I know that's being greedy, but the last 4 seasons have been so awesome for a fan from 2002)

For Tina it's;

Was, Worrincy, Woodcock, Lindsay & Yere.

Rob Worrincy was always exciting to watch, and not always in a good way!

He blotted his copybook a bit when he left but I still chat to him when I see him. It's only a game after all. I even spoke to Mr Barlow!

Gav Brown?

Go and lie down for a while and think about what you just said.

Yes Mark, Gav Brown. Did a lot for us at scrum-half & hooker and directed the team well during that period, bearing in mind we were in NL2.
