Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3500881, member: 8423"] Webcke - No one will complain about that result, a true gentleman off the field and an absolute beast on it. He just had this amazing ability to step up when the game was on the line despite, compared to other props, not actually being that big. He was all heart and I will always remember the grand final he won with a broken arm. At the time, I was too young to appreciate how brave that was. Subsequently I have realised how tough that really was. The man had no fear and bled maroon and yellow. Surprised it isn't Alfie though to be honest. Bird - It looked bad from the day it was announced and just got worse. A completely overrated player, even at the time. He came to us broken, red flags and then proceeded to break in every way imaginable thereafter. Played almost no games and let the door hit him on the way out. You could forgive him for the injuries, hardly his fault but not the way he spoke about the club after leaving. He was a luxury signing that was yet again symptomatic of that era of blokes thinking they were all better than the club. Another of the waning Bennett second stint years that just left you shaking your head when it was announced and fuming once the dust settled. Wayne's second stint really wasn't all that good but that gets glossed over a lot because there were so many other issues with the club. But I digress and honestly, I too am seriously surprised Bird is number 2 and not number 1. [/QUOTE]
