Which player you regret losing the most?

[Headless Chook]

The 2016 season was one of the weakest competitions in years. If we fired we could have had a real shot at the premiership that year.

Instead we tossed out Maloney, put all our faith in Pearce and Hastings..... and then Pearce promptly ****ed a dog and Hastings promptly showed himself to be a dud and our season was over inside the first 7 rounds.

Maloney's level headed attitude was also sorely missing in our finals campaign in 2017.

I would say our premiership window has now closed for a few years as our forward pack is looking tired and will have a heavy turn over for the next 2-3 seasons, although Politis is trying to throw a Cronk-shaped rock through it (similar to what we did in 2010 with Carney, albeit with Cronk being a much less of a gamble than Toddy)

Don't forget we had no JWH or Cordner for the first 6 or 7 rounds as well

As the season rolls on I feel we will miss Flash's right boot the most

Kouparitsis, Goulding, Dart...where was Cam Cherry in that lot? Yes they were losses....but not ours. We really lost it when we let Brian Bevan go to Warrington!!!

700 plus tries later...sheez...we wouldn't have even needed a goalkicker! Do you realise Bevan actually got his mug on a British stamp and they actually built statues of him at roundabouts. Ends up being picked in the NRL's Australian team of the century. So much for Brian Bevan.

The same year - 46 - we let Lionel Cooper go to Huddersfield and he scored ten tries in one game and also went on to become a legend with over 300 tries. And then there was Johnny Hunter who killed them over there and played for 'Other Nationalities' What a back three.

I don't know who we had on the retention committee in 1946. Probably General Custer.

Last years roster was a lot bigger than I thought?

Surprised no one brought up Vautin.
He had another 5 or 6 seasons in him perhaps.

Fixed it for you

[ccfc bondi]

No question for me it's Connor Watson. It's a loss that will probably come back to haunt us., too

But if we're talking the past few decades, who else but Maloney!

[horrie hastings]

After 2015 James Maloney and after last season Michael Gordon.
