He did make a fine lock forward. Which was umm…a significant part of my previous post.

Think that Mal [ Reilly ] may have been experiencing some injury issues after 73 and Lowe took a while to adjust to the harder demands of playing in the Australian comp when he arrived in 74 . But all at their best together and there would have been a brief time , that back row of Reilly ,Phil Lowe and Randall , very good without a doubt and have fond memories of that back row of Martin , Norton and Lowe in that great G F win in 76 against the Eels . Got the impression that it suited Manly at the time to move Fulton to centre from the 6 role [ where he pretty much stayed for the rest of his career , apart from test footy ] and not so much to cater for Ian Martin but he did real good there before he then moved to lock to allow Alan Thompson to be the 6
Cliffy is a legend to me but Ian Martin was definitely a fav for me growing up. I mean - that neat haircut for one thing!! AND he could play footy!!
I think I'm with you on Stewart/Watmough and Menzies but Kosef Menzies and Gartner - that's a great backrow. But all listed are very very good. But how scary would Reily Boyd and Randall have been to play against??!!

Yeah the three toughest
I can’t make a call on which was the better combination they were all awesome in their own right.

No topping this back row!
So true, forgot about BK, only played 2yrs, but what an impression he left.
The back wall of fame from left to right
No topping this back row!
Max Krillich Premiership winning captain
Terry Randall Four time premiership winning Enforcer
Allan Thompson two time premiership winner
The Godfather who turned our club into a dominating premiership winning force
The Incomparable Immortal and the most successful wining Sea eagle of all
Yeah its a no brainer. Not even close.. (well its a little bit close)
Next they will be asking us to decide between Smith/Laberchange or Bradman/McCabe.

Bradman/McCabe. Smith is a f-wit
Went for Kosef Beaver and Gartner but my favourite backrow wasn't an option. BK, Beaver and Choc wins easily.
Well you’ll know which one I’ll choose.
My Dad was an avid cricket fan , used to travel to Sydney for the test matches with his best mate , he was lucky to see Bradman play in two Sydney tests and this was his description.
“ not a big hitter of the ball but played with the opposition field . He’d hit it through point so they’d move a fielder there , then he’d attack cover , they’d move a fielder there , then he’d attack square leg “.
Apparently ( so my father said ) he just stroked the ball to wherever there was a gap and not uncommon for him to rack up a double century in two and half sessions.
And Stan McCabe wasn’t too much different.
I took my Dad to the centenary test in Melbourne , and bugger me if we don’t travel out to the MCG on the tram and Dad spies this old guy sitting opposite us who was Lindsay Hassett. They ended up chatting for about 10 minutes on the train and half an hour outside the stadium.
One of the invincibles along with Bradman & McCabe.
I think we need an option for Reilly, Randall and Bradman.
Maybe Messi too

They were as a trio very talented, each with his own special abilities. I did enjoy the three of them in action. Unfortunately Kosef's tenure was not that long, a little in the style of Reilly, and ended up suffering similar injuries that ended their careers

Ronaldo. Still feel sorry for him in that last game at the World Cup. A giant on the wane.
