Not true of Mark McLinden, Martin Offiah, Rob Purdham, Michael Robertson, Denis Moran, Antonio Kaufusi, Solomon Haumono, Louis M-S,
And though Richie Barnett was just past his prime, he was still an awesome player. I sawe some unforgettable tries by him from full back, esp against Alfie Langer's Warrington in 2001, with magical sidesteps around Lee Briers and 3 others, also against St Helens. The guy was still top drawer when a year or two past his prime.
The only ones whom that could have been said of were Jim Dymock, Henry Paul and Craig Gower, yet they were and are still classy when past their prime. Surely Gower is now one of top 2 Scrum halves in SL today, along with Scott Dureau. As with Henry Paul, several years in rugby union preserved Gower for his final years in rugby league at a riper age than most halves could still play.

I did consider them. But I would want Denis Moran and Craig Gower ahead of them any day of the week.

Offiah hardly played in the 3 or 4 years he was there. I'm pretty sure he was 30 when he signed for them as well, no question he was past it.
I'm surprised nobody has picked Villa the Gorrilla in their team.

I'd say terrible is being a bit harsh but he wasn't great, not worthy of a mention in this thread certainly.

Terrible compared to what? We'd shifted (is that shafted) Little Dennis off to Wigwam and TL did better for us than the little master Moran managed at Wigan

Aye. Peter Gill, Grant Young and Terry Matterson would be in for me. I always liked Steele Retchless. I thought he was an outstanding forward.

| Me strong was outstanding for, seemed to lose something when he went to Wigam.
There was another prop, was he called Russell Bawden? He went back to aus and played SOO following rumours he'd had a dust up with Tony Currie.
"Me Strong"!? - Damn iPad, should've read Mestrov.

Rusty played 58 times for us at Griffin Park in the Super Leaguebetween 2002 and 2004.....his second stint with us after 96/97 at which point he went to Melbourne and won a GF and played SoO.
Always approachable and very fond of post match beers IITC, he moved to France toplay in their elite comp from 2005 after an injury plagued 2004.

| Every team needs a star who can attract the fans to see him perform some magic for the team in attack.
At different times London Broncos has had Richie Barnett, Denis Moran, and Mark McLinden who have done that.
Today the team has Craig Gower and Kieran Dixon and Luke Dorn. With a half decent coach at last, this team should do well in 2013.

| The current London team looks good to me, especially with Gower, Dorn and Dixon as mentioned above, and Kaufusi and Robertson too. The only problem for me, is squad depth. Beyond an obvious starting 17, London seem to be lacking a bit.

No question that injuries or lack thereof will determine where London finish.
Gower's nearly continuous presence or else absence with injuries will be the key to season success or failure.

It was Justin Bryant who had a punch up with Tony Currie in Paris and I don't think he played again. TC was also a very good friend of Chris Anderson who was the coach of Melbourne from their days at the Bulldogs. TC put both Tony Martin and Rusty onto the Storm rather than back to Brisbane which was where they were meant to go.
As for Mestrov I see him around every now and then as he worked in Manly's marketing dept until a year or so ago.

Very harsh on Tommy, seem to remember him having a fair few injury problems with us.

| He was very poor and nobody was disappointed to see the back of him considering the hype that surrounded his signing. A staggering turnaround.
