Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2746109, member: 1899"] Great names being tossed around so far, here's a few others. Milton Thaiday - Sam's uncle, was such a fun ride watching him go from a relative no-name in 2005 into one of the form players of 2006. Dean Widders - As great as Hindmarsh, Smith and Morrison were during that 05 Eels run, Widders was the player I couldn't get enough of. The guy just had it all as a second row and gave the Eels that extra bit of skill they were lacking. Nathan Blacklock - The second best try-scorer I've seen (Billy #1). Will always remember that try he scored against Wests, kicking and chasing for himself. Nathan Merritt - In a lot of ways was a very similar player to Blacklock. Incredibly quick, but just as skillful, he was one of the few reasons to even watch Souths play during their horror stretch. I think the way the NSW media vilified him was crap, he should be remembered as one of the best backs of his generation. Chris Sandow - Would have given me nightmares if he was at the Broncos, but when on song was one of the best players to watch. Did everything with a cheeky smile on his face and could make you believe in miracles. Still think it's a shame he never made a finals series - at the very least it would have been entertaining. Rod Jensen - Similar sort of player to Dean Widders. Took everything he learned as a back, then applied it to the backrow where he proved a real go to weapon for the Cowboys during their run in the mid 00s. Rhys Wesser - 13 year old me was filthy he wasn't apart of the Maroons team when we lost Game II 03. In 04, we learned why he wasn't there, but still I was a huge fan of Rhys Lightening and was so thrilled to see them go all the way that season. An amazing support player who could convert the slightest opportunity into points. Always had a soft spot for him, even though he was well past it by 2007. Andrew Fifita - Like Sandow, would give me nightmares if he was at the Broncos, but he's one of my favourite players to watch. That chicken dance is THE best post-try celebration of the year, just the thought cracks me up and he maybe the best Aboriginal prop to emerge in the past couple of decades. [/QUOTE]
