    FMD wouldn't have picked it. You might even have Jazz covered age wise...

    Upset I didn't pick 17, TBH. Could easily put a few of our old school wingers on the bench, but would need to have Henjack as coach.

    Gallen and Myles can play prop. I really didn't rate Webcke and Petrol that highly and they were next in line for me.

    You were watching Daley in 1989 were you, Ged?

    Carne and Lazarus also interesting pics. Woulda been fucking young.

    It's disgusting how underrated he is. Some assholes actually rated Bowman higher.

    he played rep footy at centre after that.

    I know. 2 games in 91. 3 in 96. 1 in 98. 1 in 99. But even I wouldn't place as much importance on half a dozen Origin games as what Ged has to warrant his selection there. I'd sooner pick Tate if it's only Origins. We both know, as Raiders fans, Daley wasn't a centre after the late 80's, early 90's.

    Disagree. He might end up better if he comes back and gets back into form soon, but 4 years isn't enough yet.

    Folau was a total dud in defence. He, and he alone is half the reason people think Hayne is a great rep winger. Neither of them could tackle or stay in position if their entire lives depended on it.

    I don't think Sailor was particularly outstanding in defence either.

    Also am I the only one who thought Civo ended up being overall better than Webcke? Definitely not while they were playing together, but everything Civo did after Webcke retired put him on top IMO.

    Sing was definitely godly in both.

    Yes. Price too IMO.

    Matt Sing saved more tries than he scored. And he scored a fuckload of tries. He's ranked fifth in NRL history and 3rd in overall history.

    I remember when he scored a hattrick in the last Origin match of 03. We've already lost the series by then, but that's when he became one of my favourite players.
