that wld be a tough list, props and locks would be easier, but backrowers are all over the shop, menzies and fitzy would be in my top ten but gee it wld be an open list.

I'll have a go, in no particular order: 1.Bunny Reilly 2. Ron Coote 3. Fitzy 4. SBW 5.Fletch 6. Des O'Reilly 7. John Tobin 8. Hugh McGahan 9. Trevor Gilmeister 10. Ricko 11. Boyd Cordner

[Headless Chook]

even if he was in top 20 or 30, that makes him a great player

Doesn't make him one of the greatest back rowers of all time though.

[crikey chris]

He's definitely in the top ten dikheads to play the game.

Bingo.... we have a winner

I sense a slight bias here....hmmmm.

[QUOTE=Waylander;303240]And I remember Bruce Sinclair dropping him like a bag of spuds with a short right when Tallis got all over him in a play-the-ball. Punch travelled about 30cm and Tallis was down in a heart beat. Loved it !! [/QUOTE

Nice try, but I was at that game and it was tony priddle that Sinclair decked.

I remember that game. Round 1 1994. Tony Iro's first game for the club. Ricko, who was playing centre, was sent off for a big swinging arm. That punch from Sinclair was awesome. Priddle went down fast. Unlucky to lose that game. Shit year though.

Great post - I still rate Clyde as one of my "heroes". He single changed the way league was played, and bought a whole new meaning to the term professional. And you forgot to mention Pearce, W. just all ticker.

There's a fair bit of Clyde in Cordner I reckon.

Clyde + mongrel = Cordner.

Clyde didnt have the dropsies. Boyd has shocking hands

I remember having a conversation with a decent first grader from around that era, that thought the world of the Canberra side (didn't play for them) but had his illusion shattered when he found out that every thing did may not have been above board.

Asada would have had a field day with that Canberra side.

He is in need of a shoulder surgery and many players in his position wouldn't even be playing. He has still been a standout this year and averages close to 100m per game and gets through a mountain of tackles.
