Message: [QUOTE="ningnangnong, post: 2485869, member: 1848"] Alright, I want you guys to pick your favourite player from each NRL squad, and tell me why. May as well include the Broncos even though we're in League Talk. Make sure you tell me why! I don't want to just read a list of names... that's boring. Also, don't pick people based on their State of Origin performances, pick them on what they do at club level and why that appeals to you. Here I go. [B]Brisbane Broncos - Alex Glenn[/B] I've had a man crush on this fella since he made his debut. Love his attitude out there on the field, and I think he's greatly underrated by supporters of other teams, in fact he's probably a little underrated by our own supporters! Really hope he gets the captaincy permanently one day. [B]Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs - Sam Kasiano[/B] This guy is one of the most entertaining props out there. Looks effortless in almost everything he does, but still makes huge metres and can also throw the occasional pass to create a linebreak. He's my type of forward. [B]North Queensland Cowboys - Matt Scott[/B] Has anyone ever seen Matty Scott get driven backwards in a tackle? Didn't think so. Dude only knows one direction. He's a beast! [B]St. George Illawarra Dragons - Trent Merrin [/B] This was probably the hardest team to pick. Seriously, their roster is ridiculously depressing. Trent Merrin gets it purely because he's pretty much their only player who turns up every single week. Will definitely find himself in an Australian jersey at some point I think. [B]Parramatta Eels - Fuifui Moimoi[/B] He's getting on a bit now, but big Fui still holds a special place in my heart. I wish every prop ran with as much purpose as Fui does. I'll never forget that try he scored in the 2009 grand final. Unstoppable. [B]Newcastle Knights - Jarrod Mullen[/B] I don't think this guy will ever reach his full potential. He looked like something special in his first few seasons in the NRL, got handed an Origin debut, and since then his game has been marred by inconsistency. An exciting player on his day. [B] Penrith Panthers - Tim Grant[/B] I've got a high opinion of Tim Grant. He's your old school type of prop-forward. Just barrels it up to the line and keeps on going. Similar sort of game to Matt Scott. He'll be playing for Australia in few year's time IMO. [B]South Sydney Rabbitohs - Greg Inglis[/B] As a player, you can't help but admire Inglis' athleticism and skill. He has it all - pace, footwork, size, strength. Shame his move to the Broncos never eventuated. [B]Canberra Raiders - Josh Papalii[/B] This kid will establish himself as one of the premier second rowers in the game over the next season or two. Huge amount of potential. Such a damaging ball-runner. Love watching him hit the line. [B]Sydney Roosters - Michael Jennings[/B] Electric. That's the best word I can think of to describe him. He's elusive and quick - not big and strong like most centres these days. Really enjoyable to watch when he's on form. [B]Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles - Matt Ballin[/B] He seems to lack the douche qualities that are almost necessary to play for Manly. Hard worker who always gives his all for his team. You know he won't let you down. [B]Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks - Nathan Gardner[/B] I'm gutted this young fella has had so many injury issues. He's a little dynamo. Really want to see him stay fit for an extended period. [B]Melbourne Storm - Lagi Setu[/B] Man, I was so sad to see Lagi leave us to work as a missionary. Right towards the end of his spell at the Broncos he was starting to show some great signs. Would love to see him realise his full potential. He can be a very damaging forward. [B]Wests Tigers - Benji Marshall/Marika Koroibete[/B] Everyone rips the piss out of Benji on here for some reason, but I love watching him play. So unpredictable and innovative. Also wanted to mention Koroibete. I love the look of this fella, he's going to be a star. So friggin' quick. [B]Gold Coast Titans - Nate Myles/Dave Taylor[/B] Couldn't split these guys. Both polar opposites in the way they play the game and what they bring to the team. You've gotta love Myles' never say die attitude and the amazing amount of work he gets through in a match. Then there's Taylor's cannonball like impact, and crazy ball skills 'for a big guy'. Imagine if they made love to each other and produced a Nate Taylor. Dayum. [B]New Zealand Warriors - Almost Everyone![/B] The Warriors have always been one of those sides I love watching play. Completely disregard the gameplan/tactics/whatever and wing it seems to be their motto. So entertaining. I can't decide between Konrad Hurrell, Ben Matulino, Manu Vatuvei, Feleti Mateo and Shaun Johnson. [/QUOTE]
