Greatest Roosters GF-Winning Backline Ever

[Louis N]

I said the current backline shades the 75 team, but I'd happily agree with you in the 74 lineup being their equal.
Brass was a bit under-rated I think, but just in my opinion, Teddy is a better fullback than Fairfax. Mitchell deserves comparisons to Harris, and may be considered better down the track. His hands dont let him down as much as Harris's did early on.

And all the best to you with everything
I can relate to this year being an incredible challenge, but the highlight was most definitely the grand final. The team did us all proud.
I enjoy your posts.

I agree with your summation Eddie that Teddy is a better fullback than Fairfax. Russell just had that one magic first season really before breaking his leg and was never the same after. Teddy should have won the Golden Boot this year and the SOO Player of the Series. He's been a revelation for us. Also the 74/75 side were older players at a career peak, whereas fellows like Joey and Latrell still have further development ahead. And definitely Latrell is a more complete player than Harris with far greater ball skills, better kicking and natural instinct. I think he's already a better player. And weren't they both great to watch coming through the grades too. We are blessed with our current line up.

Ain't easy combining the two backlines.
best I can think

1- Teddy
2- Mullins
3- Harris/Mitchell ???
4- Brass
5- Fergo
6- Peard/Keary ???
7- Cronk

And that's still open to debate.
