Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 2327785, member: 2021"] Not even close. Shaun Berrigan is that good that I rate him as good or even better than Hodges and that's saying a lot coming from me :P IMO Berrigan is one of the best utilities to have played the game and certainly for the Broncos. He was one of the better centres in the game, at his best he was unbreakable in defence, managed to nail it at hooker and managed to play an entire origin series at 5/8, 7, centre and off the bench. I was devastated when Berro left us in 07 he was that sort of player who was an example of courage and determination. As a fan you couldn't help but admire Berrigan. In 06 at hooker I don't think we've seen at all a player in the nrl since who has made a switch mid season from their regular position and have such a profound impact instantly. His switching to defence at centre(a masterstroke, please don't make this a WB discussion!)in defence and just how well he played. Inglis was unstoppable back then and for the entire night Inglis couldn't do a thing, he was completely shut down by Berrigan who is half his size. His run to score the try against the Bulldogs, at the end of it you could tell he was exhausted but he used every last bit of determination to get past 3 Bulldogs players and score it, upside down. There's not another hooker in the game who would have scored that. I love Berrigan, definitely one of my favourite ever players, I really wish we got to see more of him. IMO he had at minimum another year in him, easily two. Craig Wing-a-ding, Lewis Schewmis, Berrigan is in a league of his own. [/QUOTE]
