SILVERTAILS' TEAM ... NOW PICK YOUR #14 ..

[Woodsie]

I am surprised we don't have any followers of Bozo's 4 forwards on the bench with an extra prop or even Glen Stewart ...

If u are trying to pick a player to cover then Des is my pick. Trouble is that if an actual team I would pick a player that could do damage when forwards get tired eg Phil Blake.

 

[Uk eagle]

Rowdy for me, equally effective anywhere 1-6 and if you needed blistering pace...

 

[Supreme Leader]

Steve Matai - would fill numerous roles

 

[MightyEagles]

Des

He would be your 15

 

[Jay Eagle]

I'm gunna ruffle a few feathers here , but it's Foran for mine....a healthy Foran who initially had the pace to play centre, the skill to play 5/8 and would also be absolutely perfect off the bench at dummy half....but the key ingredient, like every other player I have chosen is the competitive nature....this bloke drips with enthusiasm and that's what you want in a team, especially bring as an impact and lift your team mates, fans and definately would scare the opposition knowing he is fresh and ready to rip in off the bench !!

This may actually be his role in 2021/22

 

[Jay Eagle]

If we are talking Utility then it has to be DES, I would personally have DCE at 7 and then a toss up between DES and Tooves but as Tooves already has the number 7, I don't see the value in DCE as 14 so Im going with DESSIE.

This may be the most straight forward selection on the team list Woodsie. I think picking a coach may be closer haha

Matt Orford was the first that came to mind winning a dally m. But have to agree with DES. Covered more positions. Teams such as this do consider length of time and connection to a club. Impossible not to think of DES the coach. As a player he played for Australia and NSW which I don't recall Orford doing. Yep it's Sorry.

Desmond

I think that the worst thing can happen is to lose one of your back three early as it usually means moving a centre and using a backrower in the centres, throwing out combinations. I would go for Shearer who can cover 1 - 5. Bozo or Jamie could move into the halves if a half or Krilich was off. Can see the argument for Des as well.

Agree - this is what happened in SOO 3, when Tedesco went down early. If Papenhuyzen had been picked at 14 instead of Nathan Brown, the Blues may have had a better chance of winning the game (& series) ...

If we had to move a centre, we would be fine I reckon as you'd put Beaver in the centres and not lose much.

I am choosing Snake because 1) he would cause carnage if given the opportunity to sniff around the middle late in games, 2) can ball play if asked, 3) as Bozo says, speed kills and 4) if we are choosing a Best of the Last 50 Years team, he absolutely deserves to be there.

 

[manlyfan76]

Des played (well) on the wing in his debut Origin game.
Des for me.

 

[Jethro]

Des is my pick too for reasons already stated by other Silvertails Members.

 

[Eagle thru 'n' thru]

Tony Williams....plays wing, centre, 2nd row, Prop... and he killed us at 5/8 when he went to the dogs.

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

Versatility being a real ace up the sleeve......would probably bring Rowdy into the starting line-up (covering the backline), Gift into #15 (covering backrow and even 5/8).........

and then #14 Dashing Dessie would surely be the icing on the cake.

That would cover just about ANY possibilities.

 

[The Wheel]

Gee Hasler or Ian Martin - Toss a coin

 

[deanm]

I personally think DCE should have been halfback ahead of Toovey, so I’ll pick him as my 14.

Me too please

 

[HoldenV8]

Des Hasler for #14

He could play anywhere. In the halves, the wing, centre, lock, hooker. The guy was Mr FixIt on the field.
