Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2620912, member: 1899"] Both Skando & Howard were fine players but I wouldn't take their 1999 seasons over McGuire's 2014 season. Skando wouldn't play his best football until 2002 and even then it wouldn't be until 2005 where I would put him in McGuire's company. Howard on the other hand was serviceable but was very one dimensional, lacing the skills that McGuire possess. A handy toiler to be sure and one of Bennett's astute signings, but never considered one of the marquee props in the game either. If he was, I doubt Benny would have been so desperate to recall Webcke nor play a young backrow like Dane Carlaw infront of him. Interesting topic all the same. Trying to think more recent and I think the only team that can really compare to the Wests outfit (without losing half their squad) would be the Rabbitohs circa 2002/03 when they were rushed into the competition. Forgetting about roster and depth issues - there were some fugly teams in 2008. Bulldogs with Brent Crisp, Daniel Holdsworth and Ben Roberts running around in their spine...Cowboys with Mark Henry, Sione Faumuina & Anthony Watts as their 1-6-7... Penrith that year! Seriously, if the Broncos weren't playing such expansive footy, 08 would rank right up there as one of the worst years. [/QUOTE]
