Best in the last 50 years ... Fullback ..

Lets start promoting the Wombat by posting more great things about him 😉

I bet Bozo would pick the Bat

Don’t forget he played alongside the incomparable immortal

 

[BOZO]

Yep, one of the commentators said that he had been retired for three years and was coaxed out of retirement to play the one season with Halifax.

On another note, if the St. Helens red vee chevron was any longer and carried on to their shorts, it would look like they are wearing mankinis.

That dominant performance in the cup final was even more remarkable as he came back after 3 years in retirement . Astonishing effort !

The Godfather hand picked them both from their Mothers boosems

The Bat still holds the lead , time to call it @Woodsie

I knew it would be close between wombat and snake. I had trouble. 2 of my favorite all time players. I choose snake for his defense organisation and his passing game.

Okay ... Poll will close at 12.00pm Eastern Brookvale time ...

... and then the choosing of the 4th bench spot/utility begins ......

The Silvertail's faithful have spoken ... and the Wombat has held off a spirited attack from the Snake to take his position at fullback ...

Good to see Tommy Turbo is a member of the forum.

Watching Wombat in ‘78 was wholly and solely why I became a Manly supporter (plus I loved the colours!).

 

[The '47ers]

Loved Ridgey, 4pts generally became 6 most of the time. Met Wombat at the GC when he was working for Tooheys, hard to imagine him even getting into a trot at that stage!

PS. Wombat is a legend of a bloke, can't speak highly enough of him!

So are Jake and Ben.... but they voted for wombat!

Wombat or Snake? No too hard.

Definitely wouldn 't recommend as a culinary dish

It's a struck match between Wombat and Snake.

Anyone who ever saw Eadie come across in cover and smash some poor mongrel into touch would know what a quality player he was. Or chime into the backline and slice straight through. It was just great to watch.

But Snake was a freak too. Might not have had Eadie's frame but I'm pretty sure he has him covered for pace.

I'd be happy with either. But I'm going with Snake in a photo. And an honourable mention to Ridge. He was bloody tough and what I wouldn't give for someone who can kick goals like him in 2021. He's closer in ability to Eadie and Stewart than many give him credit for. Bloody great player.

No reason for me to post now that you have expressed my view so well.
