All-Time: Johnno (who else) , Backy (can't believe he hasn't been mentioned yet) and Healey (is dearly missed) - all one of a kind.

Present: I know he isn't on form (so far) but, Ellis - Looks deceptively innocent!

Defo Austin (love him), and of course Johnno.

Currently, Brett Deacon (don't see enough of him though - he's so cute!!) and Lewis

Tom Croft. Best prospect for the future I've seen.
I know I am not alone in thinking that.

This is a bit like putting kids into a sweet shop and asking them to choose ..... I'll have this and this and this.

Deano is the Icon of the club to me with Johnno standing side by side

Guys like like Garth and Backy standing solidly behind them

But the player I loved to watch I think above even these legends, was Josh Kronfeld - he was immense and could do so much it was like having an extra player on the field and I would have paid twice as much to watch him

Other favourites for pure entertaiment value have to be

Freddie and Henry
Dave Lougheed
Pat Howard

Today - The first man I would put down on the team sheet would be Castro and the second would be Jennings and the third Gibbo then put the rest in around them.

If I was after the entertainment factor itwould still be Henry, alongside, Moreno Geordan and Mad Dog Moody

That's just twelve I've kept myself to!

Im with mightymouse

Josh Kronfeld was just superman...men against boys.

Deano...no need for any more words really
Jonno...same

Entertainment value Freddy or Henry flattening someone always brings a little grin

Fave backs
Geordan
Gibson

with Vesty and Ollie close behind

Fave Forwards
Castrogiavanni
Jennings

with Moreno and Chuter close behind

Youngster

Tom Croft..something special there


I have to admit that there is no one in the squad that I dont feel uncomfortable with on the pitch.

Geordan Murphy is an absolute genios in the back line. We look lost without him. YOu just know the 1 player that gives you that edge and creativity is geordan. How he is not strating for Ireland and do not know.

forgot to mention my all timer - martin johnson. englands best ever captain and best ever player. he was a second row who you often saw ball carrying and even making noticable runs - somwhat a rarity in the modern game for a second row.

My favourite ever player is Joel Stransky who was an absolute genius and I loved watching him play for us.

My current favourite is probably Geordan Murphy but when they are fit and in-form Ollie Smith and Seru Rabeni are two of the best players to watch.

You can probably guess from my selections that I didn't play in the forwards as a kid!
