That's true. Most people probably only remember him as a forward but he was a damn good centre too.

Perhaps we should name the year of selection as well 
league players physically chance over a long career a lot more than cricket players do

Looks like I get a double banger (been a while since I’ve had one of them...)
1 Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
12 sbw
This looks like fun wrighty.
So much to talk about already but I don’t wanna give away my strategy
Nice picks! I was considering both of those players for my next turn.

Looks like it is back to me. Would love a double pick as there are 2 guys I really need for my team.
As much as I don't like the prick I am going to choose Matthew Ridge as my full back and goal kicker. With Roger Tuivasa-Sheck gone this would be the only other elite full back I can think of (was having trouble splitting Ridge and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck so Defence's pick made it easier for me). Ridge would be the best goal kicker I have seen as well.

Might not be a bad idea! My B Marshall pick was based on the old Marshall not the current day one.

I had ridge as my next pick. I consider him slightly above Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, although given time Roger Tuivasa-Sheck will probably surpass him. Loved Ridges intensity.
Weno
I have gone to the back as well.
Always slipped or broke the first tackle.
Would of been one if the greats if he didn't smash his face.
But in his time,he was up there with the best fullbacks and our captain at one stage.

Gary Freeman
NICE!!!! If Benji was taken he would have been my first pick.

Good choice. Fullback is going to be tough to fill now for the guys who don't have one already.
Defence
That’s what I wa thinking too- there was a fair gap between those 2 and the next best fullback.
Would it surprise u that Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has already played more games and scored more tries than ridge?
Throw in a dally m and golden boot for good measure

Definitely agree. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Ridge are very different players. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has more speed and footwork but Ridge is tougher and can kick. Daylight between those two and the next best. As I said I hate the guy as a person but he was a hell of a player. Will never forget watching this play when I was young -
I also remember him when he had been retired for a while and at half time of a game he kicked a goal from the sidelines in his fu*ckn jandals!

I wondered if people would think about picking him or whether people would overlook him. Glad I snapped him up early.

Ridge came from union and we saw his prime and late career when he was at his best.That’s what I wa thinking too- there was a fair gap between those 2 and the next best fullback.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is only 26 and is only coming into his prime... even better to come!

Repeatedly my next choice keeps getting takenGary Freeman
freeman was my first player that I really liked as a youngster. Had the same intense attitude as Ridge.

Liking this game, not liking all my favourites going elsewhere
My next pick is Kieran Foran during his manly era. Same reason I liked Ridge and Freeman, intensity in their play.
3rd choice is Taumalolo. Might be controversial but best player in the world in his position so have to get in before others do.
