Lowdesert Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 A player who, as soon as he got the ball in his hands, made you tense up immediately, knowing what they could do. A player in space, that made the crowd scream, ‘get hold of him’! or similar (Threepenny stand quotes, censored please). Modern or latter day. There’s been a few.

Mr Frisky Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Most of us are thinking fast skillfull players but in hindsight the highlight of a match for me was the first big carry of a match by a forward or when one teams enforcer hit the other teams enforcer - for that Morley, Burgess or Peackock at peak would get me out of my seat.

Loved to watch him Deadly 5-10m away. Good player overall, but it seemed a try was nailed on from short distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowdesert Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Against GB or England I used to dread Meninga getting the ball anywhere but I’d be out of my seat to watch Inglis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
