Wow - first poll with a surprise for me. Looks like Johnson has over taken the legend!
Is he now the greatest Warrior ever?

I’ve genuinely had no time to think about the upcoming game over the last couple months, been way too busy with work… however I think that might change this arvoHmmm
Damn u brownstone!!!
But who makes the top 5 in their positions over the last 2 decades out of Jones, Johnson & Maloney? Maybe only Maloney.
brother, its almost 2026, two decades ago Stacey was old and gone to super league!
Maloneys career perfectly fits into the 10 years of 2010-2019, heaps of success and accolades (never could tackle) in a way both SJs don't - but most of it was not at this club

Can't remember how long Simon was here but I liked his long kicking game.
Ok. 2 seasons and was captain.

Both legends in their own right but I wonder if we are starting to reach that point where less and less of the fanbase remember Stacey as a player and the recency of Johnson starts putting him ahead

I think Maloneys greatest talent was his ability to find amazing forward packs to play behind.
Is that your excuse for Walsh these days as well
I seem to recall you being horrified at my suggestion his ceiling was well beyond that of RTS

IDK 30 years is everyone from Stuart and Langer onwards – its so many players. I wouldn’t put Cronk or Reynolds or Ben Hunt at the top of the list of greatest halves either but that doesn’t diminish their careers.
Yeah fair enough- I guess those high error/ terrible defensive type players just aren’t my cup of tea- they can be the icing on the cake though.Is that your excuse for Walsh these days as well

Hmmm dont wanna get to into this because it’s crossing into wrighty game territory but I’d say they’re similarly placed although there’s been a bit more talent in the halfback pool than the 5/8 pool the last 30 years imo.
Yeah fair enough. Ok game face on from now!
Halfback I gotta go with Stacey Jones. I quite liked Ian Henderson as our hooker but I'd pick Issac Luke.

Maloney. Le Chad. Rovelli
Billy's years here were his worst in my memory
He was O K in 2018 , won us a few games.
But his best strength was being fast out of 9. When he was here he was a tad bulky.
