Vince mellor, Julian O’Neill (stand off) Lino foai

**Edited**

Lamont Copestake, Jamie Corcoran spring to mind as useless. None can surpass Proctor

Jorge Taufua surely must make the 13 on the wing?

Agreed.

Jerermy Smith,
Kevin Locke (allows Sears to play centre)

If Harry Siejka isn’t in this team something is wrong.

Aaron Whitaker - Scrum Half
Dennis Beecroft - Second Row
Peter Benson - Centre (Prolific Goal Kicker)

Ronnie trautmann scrum half 1997 looked like he had never seen a game of rugby league, let alone played one

It appears Matt Seers was so bad people are naming him twice in the same team

I was just thinking Whitaker, I remember as a kid people saying he was poor.

What about Glenn Tomlinson?

Out of hand he could kick like a mule.

Okay...I've put Whitaker in at 7 but personally thought Tomlinson went well for us ??

Okay, cheers guys....this is the 17 that I've got so far, which is purely subjective of course and apologies for those that I couldn't fit in...do people generally agree with it or are there any more that we have missed ??

1) Matt Seers
2) Jorge Taufua
3) Vince Mellor
4) Peter Benson
5) Matt Peterson
6) Julian O'Neill
7) Aaron Whittaker
8 ) Jarrod Hickey
9) Harry Siejka
10) Clinton O'Brien
11) Steve Southern
12) Anthony Tupou
13) Kevin Proctor
14) Jeremy Smith
15) Robert Piva
16) Ronnie Trautmann
17) Brent Todd

Did Siejka actually play at 9 or was he scrum half ??

Matt Seers was wasn't he?

Yet was a kiwi test player around the time , which is bizarre

Chris Mortimer, came with a huge reputation and was useless

Tomlinson was unlucky with badly broken leg and never hit his true potential. Where as Whitaker was just dreadful.

Tomlinson took a lot of flak but set up plenty of scores for others during that 1st season. I think they call them assists these days.

Scrum half. Personally i’d rate him below Whittaker just. Tomlinson i thought wasn’t great either. Talipeau was a hooker wasn’t he? He’s a call for nine.

Lets not forget Charlie Leaeno either. Most pointless signing we’ve made.

I disagree Leaeno being the most pointless, surely that goes to Proctor?

Gotta throw Ali Lau into the mix here!

For me it has to be Proctor.

It would be unfair for me to say Hickey, as I wasnt in the country during the season he was here.

Also Hickey only played a few games, whereas weve been lumbered with Proctor for the whole season

I thought Isaac John was rubbish for us as well.

Flopped after a bit of hype from his reserve grade run with the warriors.

Don’t think it was a true reflection of how good he was, he went on to play at a much better level that SL and competently as well.

Paul Taylor has to be stand off. Played 20 minutes, knocked on, kicked out on the full and then went off injured. Never played again.
