General Greatest Warriors XVII

[JustLikeStartingOver]

I would openly cheat and put roger at center if he has a couple of good years, and SJ jnr at 6, so you can have both. When the greenius was here he was pretty much playing 2nd receiver.

If Egan makes a rep team (even a squad) he will nudge out Marsh who wasn’t here for very long.

Mannering, Lauititi, Harris is a sick backrow.

Ben matulino doesn’t come up too often in these teams but was a great prop in the a battling team for a while there.

AFB has to be alongside Price with another top season

I found this interesting. Ruben Wiki is way too high for mine. One of the greatest players to play for the club but 80 something games and a losing record doesn't equate to a great Warriors part of his career.
Is it mainly Australian who don't appreciate Lance Hohaia? A top 10 Warriors list without him doesn't seem right.

These teams should be based on warriors form so the likes of Dean Bell who played his best football at Wigan won’t be included. The same would apply to Matthew Ridge and possibly Wiki too.

I like Vagana on the bench. Depending on the situation it can be Nigel or Joe! Cunning stuff

DWZ in your all time team?? He doesn’t even make my ‘next weeks team’.

I feel like outside backs has been our weak point.
Tbh I think meli is remembered through rose colored glasses- had hands like feet and the turning circle of the titanic. Could put a massive shot on but for every one he nailed he’d let one in (bit like dwz and his interceptions tbf). Much like maumalo and fusitua he had a great year or 2- again u could probably say the same of dwz so yeah bit of a toss of the coin for that last wing spot imo.
Had to resort to mannering in the centers too- although he actually played more games there for us than the likes of vagana and Tate who are popular choices so not too much of a stretch.

I’d def go Toopi & Vagana at centre. Get what you’re saying on Meli, however him & Vatuvei on the wings would be great to see on attack at least. Has to be the 2 SJ’s in the halves.

Vagana a bit like wiki for me played his best footy elsewhere.
Also I’m just trying to shoehorn all our great forwards in- definitely had more depth in the forwards than the backs over the years.
Very hard leaving out the likes of seuseu, villa, matulino and luck.
