Seeing as its off season ...!!!

What would be the best 17 we've had in the last 10 years ? , so starting from the 2006 season and try and put players in the positions they mostly played

I don't necessarily expect people to agree with this, be here we go.

1. Shaul (if Wade McKinnon had stayed for any longth of time and kept his form?)
2. Talanoa
3. Yeaman
4. Fonua
5. Raynor
6. Cooke
7. Snead
8. Carvel (first time around)
9. Houghton
10. O'Meley
11. Willie Manu
12. Minichello
13. Ellis

14. Taylor
15. Mia
16. Fit gibbon
17. Rich Horne

Briscoe?

Mine would be

Shaul
Briscoe
Fonua
Yeaman
Raynor
Horne
Sneyd
Watts
Houghton
Taylor
Mini
Manu (W)
Ellis

O Meley
Moa
Fitzgibbon
Berrigan

Berrigan maybe the most contentious one, but was wasted under Agar.

Lynch unlucky to miss out

Not contentious for me, one of my favourite players, berrigan was class in a very poor agar team

Ahh Berrigan,the best no7 who was a no9 in the city after we batterd rovers

Best. Worst.

Shaul. McDonnell.
Briscoe. Sharp.
Fonua. Turner.
Yeaman. Crooks.
Raynor. Crookes.
Horne. Miller.
Sneyd. Thorman.
King. O'Carroll.
Houghton. Godwin.
Watts. Maiava.
Manu. Cusack.
Ellis. Luaki.
Fitzgibbon. P Johnson.

O'Meley. Arundel.
Swain. Seymour.
Minichello. Holdsworth.
Cooke. Radford.

If it's the last 10 years, should Cooke and King be in?

Both of them played in the 2006 Grand Final which was 10 years ago.

That was over 10 years ago, we have had 10 seasons since then.

To be fair, been a bit picky.

The OP does say " starting from the 2006 season"

Probably should have read that

i've done this without looking at the other replies!

1. shaul
2. lineham
3. fonua
4. yeamo
5. briscoe
6. cooke
7. sneeeyd
8. taylor
9. swain
10. watts
11. willie manu
12. fitz
13. ellis

14. mc menemy
15. o meley
16. mini
17 carvell

subs are tough as i wanted horne in there but would argue his best days were pre 2006 so i've gone for the all forward line up. 4 big props, a lot of work rate in the second row with the explosive power of manu as well. ellis is a no brainer at 13. backs have tries written all over them - lineham in on his dream team form. and finally a half back partnership worthy of the name and more

hon mentions to houghton, berrigan, brough, sika and talanoa

Crooks one of the two worst centres in the last decade? The one who got in the dream team? McKinnon was a worse signing than McDonnell too.

I wouldn't have Turner or Godwin in either

Arundel and Howarth have to be in there.
