That was a tough one.

I have gone for Clinch. I think Ben is fantastic and exciting to watch, but I do miss the "Clinch Pinch" Nobody does it better.


must admit i miss some of the pinches he did. the look on the other players face,. plus the look on the refs face one time when he scored and ref was still running other way. disallowed of course.

The referee's didn't like it at all from what i can recall! Rarely did they allow the try - probably because they had no idea how he had pinched it!

Ive gone for Clinch as he did it on a consitant level in the SL days (although technically his best days were with us in the 1990's, not 2000's)

Ben has the potential to be one of our best half backs & I love watching him play.

Dunny was a strong runner & tackler.

Stand-off Half
Scrum-half.

They are called halves because they are not forwards and not quite three-quarters.

I went for Black again for the entertainment value. Clinch was a class player and Dunneman worked harder in defence than most forwards but Black lifts the crowd, sparks excitement.


I know the positions but Half back and stand off are two different positions

A half back is a scrum half and a stand off is a five-eighth.

In England I think Stand off and scrum half are both classed as half back. In aussie they call the stand of five-eight.

Anyway, wheres Dane Dorahy on this list?! :oops:

You'd need 2 selections for him, the "On Trial Dane Dorahy" and the "Not bothered now he's got a contract Dane Dorahy"

I knew we were doomed as soon as we signed him. From memory, hasnt he only played for teams that ended up being relegated?
