[Little Grubber Kick]

One only has to skim to see that that is one hell of a load of BS, a giant mega large mining truck with 5 metre wheels load of BS!

 

[The '47ers]

Beaver not #1? This list is horsesh1t

 

[The '47ers]

9. David Hosking

 

[Peter C]

Where's Terry Randall, as good as Kevin Ward was, he can't possibly be ahead of Igor?.
Not to mention Allan Thompson either.

 

[TWO DOGS]

Has to be a gee up. Lyons at 94 behind chris close? Really? Kevin Ward above Jamie Lyon? WTF? Dale Shearer above Snake WTDoubleF? Keiran Foran above Jamie????? Who is the author? Some 18 year old? Cannot be serious.

Brett Kimmorley ahead of Toovey! Ha Ha Ha

Deadset, did people see Cliffy play? He is way better than most on that list - he should be closer to 1 not 100.

 

[ricardo]

Bozo used to go ok

 

[Disco]

Foran better than Tooves pffft

 

[killerspud]

Kimmorley top 100 hahaha let alone ahead of Cliffy WTF, which prick put this list together.

 

[Fluffy]

foran is 2 premierships short of a top 100 birth.

Someone should drug raid the writers house

 

[MissKate]

What's the betting 9 of the top 10 are current or recent qld origin players

 

[Mal Cochrane]

come on guys, just laugh....i did!

 

[Harvies elbow]

Drugs and these sort of best of selections should never mix but always seem to go hand in hand.
That and bias and lack of footy knowledge make for less than accurate results.

 

[The '47ers]

Obviously, cause we are better

 

[MadMarcus]

This list would make more sense (but still wouldn't be anywhere near right) if it was upside down.

 

[madmax]

I agree with everyone.........i put this up cheek in hand lolol. Also it's top 100 NRL era not ARL so Bozo won't be included.....my actual point of the list was that Manly has 25% of the best 100 players!!

But they've even got that wrong.
The like of Boustead, Cleal and Wombat were long retired before the NRL era came about. 1998 was the first I thought.
Maybe they mean ARL which began when?
Mid 80s ???

 

[niccipops]

Brett Kimmorley ahead of Toovey! Ha Ha Ha

I don't think we should count him as a Manly player. He was useless for us and played for longer at the sharkies.
He's in the wrong list anyway. Should be in the one for Top 100 intercept pass throwers.
And Go Tooves. No way he's number 89. Top 50 at least. Legend of a player. Heart bigger than Pharlap.

 

[Pablo]

I thought ARL era started in 1995? NSWRL before that?
