Re: Favorite All-time Tigers Player
I think you have to separate the era's (I recognise that some players span era's)
Late 70's/ early 80's (3 back to back JP cup wins and 5 finals on the trot) either Wheeler (best hooker in the world) or Cusworth (genius and drop goal King)
Mid 80's to early 90's Richards (dominant personality as we all know)
Late 90's and early 00's Johnson (awesome) or Healy (inspirational brilliant frustating etc)
Later 00's Corry (player's player)

Paul Dodge, the best centre we have had, also the best kicker out of hand and his defence.
Fantastic servant.
Les, the best English 10, a great entertainer from an era when players could.

Re: Favorite All-time Tigers Player
I think privileged is the word.
Too difficult for me, Dodge and the crash ball, Evans try scoring, Woodward did pretty well he'd have done a turn on the dance stage in his day.
Austin, in his words on crossbar challenge "magician", Deano, Jonno, Backy,
Current crop, Geordan, Moody, Ellis on his day frightened oppos defence,
Let's not forget the likes of Howard, and other imports.
Future, it's quite a tasty crew, let's hope they stay!
One other important player that is there on the day, us guys in the crowd! How many capacity gates?!

For me, as a person, as well as a player it would have to be Martin Corry :)
