[Guest]

The Roosters have been named three times among our greatest forward packs:

What do you think?

Easts 2013 - The only modern day forward pack mentioned..

It is impossible to compare players from different eras IMO..

Here's one that would come close to the top ten

Cusack
Bonnetti
Cayless
Fletch
Gibbon
Ricketson
WITH Morley and Crocker

I'm surprised that the raiders pack with lazarus, todd, s.walters, coyne, lance and clyde didn't get a top 10 spot. Dominated the league for a few years those raiders, add furner, croker, barnhill and pongia to the mix, and you would have a hell of a forward pack to choose from.

didn't mention LOD in the forwards

Nice article Mr RLO and welcome to the 'Pen. Naturally, I would argue with the pack rated number one but to do so is essentially moot given the changes in the game over the period of time. Of the modern day forward packs, manly's recent lot could make a claim to being included. Great to see three from Easts in the list.

Teams shouldn't be compared against eras but rather their dominance against opposition in their era. Any team from the 30s would get demolished against the wooden spoon team today. However, going undefeated for three years in the 30s is remarkable in that no team in the past twenty odd years has even gone back to back let alone undefeated.

Yes they did.

[roosterproud]

Yes they did.

only a mention instead of reccognition

[stephenj]

in that context a mention was recognition for lod?

2013 for mine.

Ok.
I wasn't going to ite, but…..

Can we expect the "D" to mirror 2013?

Imo, along with a heavy pre season schedule, it was missing.


Bring back the wall, Trent.
