Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2621278, member: 1899"] Tate is one of my favourite players of all time. Was such a good 'troll' player too. Really inconsistent at club level but when it came to the big games, he invariably stepped up and was usually one of the best on the park. It was great talking him up, only to get ripped into for some poor performance for either the Broncos or Warriors only for him to stand tall at representative level. 2006 was the ultimate. Hanging with a bunch of NSW fans, naturally they thought Gaz was a demi god and was easily the best centre in the game. I'd tell them that he wasn't even in the top 3. Justin Hodges Greg Inglis & TATE Were all better. Much banter was had, and that Origin series was by far one of the sweetest. Especially when JT got the ball out to Tate. :takdir: I thought his comeback was remarkable. I thought he was done for sure in 2010 and was very nervous of him returning to Origin in 2012. As it turns out, I shouldn't have been because he was arguably the most consistent player during that time period. Still remember his return game like it was yesty. Both Slater & Boyd struggled at the back, Tate on the other hand really stood up and took some very difficult takes. Without him, we lose that night, it was that simple. [/QUOTE]
