Ron E. Gibbs said:He's one of he best players I've ever seen, in any position. Over his career he's scored tries that nobody else could have scored - his hands and anticipation are truly extraordinary. As a fullback, there are no weaknesses in his game: he's safe under the high ball, a great organiser in defence, a strong tackler in cover, plus he scores plenty of tries and sets up plenty of others. His passing game is sublime and he can kick effectively when he has to. Sure, he's not as dangerous returning the ball as somebody like Inglis but he doesn't have to be. For a fullback that's a bonus, not a requirement.
Like many of our current stars, I still don't think he gets the accolades he deserves, partly because he plays for Manly and partly - sadly and horribly - because a false accusation dragged his reputation through the mud and the NRL hung him out to dry. But he's better than Slater, better than Inglis, better than anyone.
Sheikheagle said:I think killer deserves to be talked about in the same terms. He is the glue that holds the team together
The Prince of Brookvale said:The best player to ever wear the no 1 for Manly.
There'd be a thread we could 're-invigorate' ? actually a few, 'cause we're so blessed with talent across the decades . . . .Hamster Huey said:The Prince of Brookvale said:The best player to ever wear the no 1 for Manly.
Eadie, Ridge, Snake...
All were instrumental in our achievements at their respective times. I can never rate one above the other.
Given this problem exists for our club across the eras, I think it's time to seriously think about TWO seperate teams (Improbables vs Impossibles) to make up our Best Ever squads.
17 positions just aren't enough.
The Who said:I now think he has surpassed Wombat as our most influential fullback primarily because of the win-loss ration when he plays/is out.
However, our most influential all-time player is Bob Fulton. It is hard for those who aren't old enough to have seen Bozo play to appreciate just how great he was.
If you could combine the acceleration of Snake, with the toughness of Foran, the guile of Cherry and the overall skill of Lyon then you may be able to imagine how influential Bozo was.
