Quote: tim2 "Because ESO mentioned Hay/Ford/McLarron being insanely productive in 06 - I can't see them being as good as that against the SL opposition of the 90s or the current CC opponents. It's pretty easy to look good against London Skolars.

If you are looking at players who you want to watch, and who are top quality, Menzie has to be up there.'"

I didn't say the Hay/Ford/McLarron combination was insanely productive and it would also be insanely productive in super league, obviously it wouldn't, I was just making the point that I enjoyed watching them play.

Imagine Szostak/Menzie/Finigan against that same opposition.

I don't think you're getting the point Tim icon_lol.gif I'm not denying that we've had more skilled left flanks, I'm just saying I enjoyed watching them for their sheer productivity and scoring power, every time the ball went down the left that season you felt four points were imminent. That's not to say Szostak/Menzie/Finigan wouldn't have also scored a lot of tries in NL2, or that Hay/Ford/McLarron would be as effective at this level, I'm just simply (or apparently not so simply icon_lol.gif) making the point that I enjoyed watching them play and score tries.

Tim - your favourite player is just the one you like most. His ability is just one of many factors.

Think the clues in the question icon_biggrin.gif

You could possibly break the Eagles history into separate eras and pick some from each.

How about:

Early years (84-90): Didn't really see any of this, can't say
Pre-Super League(91-95): Tubbs/Powell
Super League: Keef Senior, Hardy, Shaw, Sovatabua
NFP/NL2: Weller, Bruce, O'Reilly
CC: Yere, Stringer, Howieson

For me it's;

02-05 - Poynter & Bruce

2006 - Ford, Worrincy & Gav Brown

07-10 - Lindsay, Woodcock, Jack, Mitch & Menzie
(I know that's being greedy, but the last 4 seasons have been so awesome for a fan from 2002)

For Tina it's;

Was, Worrincy, Woodcock, Lindsay & Yere.

Rob Worrincy was always exciting to watch, and not always in a good way!

He blotted his copybook a bit when he left but I still chat to him when I see him. It's only a game after all. I even spoke to Mr Barlow!

Yes Mark, Gav Brown. Did a lot for us at scrum-half & hooker and directed the team well during that period, bearing in mind we were in NL2.

During our early years after reforming Gav Brown was indeed a top player and steading influence both on and off the pitch. Could have done with a stronger kick but a very under estimated player.

From the mid nineties Nick Grimoldby. Stong as an ox. Also in the mould of Hendo in that he allways wore the head gear.

Another one. Jeff Hardy. 1st time around. Widnes, the then world champs ABSOLUTELY TONKED at Bramall Lane. Seem to recall Mycoe getting stretchered off.
Strange to see hardy back at the Eagles about 10 years later. Although Hardy didn't play too many games before returning to oz, for me he played a massive part in the Eagles team of the early nineties.
