[Cappuccino]

You left out Leon Bott

I couldn't find someone from the last 10

James Graham did not meet the quality level?

yeah he did for sure, i actually forgot all about him haha, i was also a massive pritchard fan and he would be my pick if i had to choose someone

 

[cntrbry bnkstwn]

How about best short term wonders of each decade? Seriously good players that for one reason or another were only at the top with us for one or two season.

80s Conlon
90s McGrady
00s JT
10s Barba

Cracking a major sadface at the lack of love for the best backrower in the game Adam Elliott in this thread

1990-94: Lamb
1995-99: Britt
2000-04: Price
2005-09: Ryan
2010-14: Ennis
2015-19: Jackson

Seems I have a bias for captains.

Nailed it. Luke Patten one of the best players to not have played Origin

If only they would have picked the "General Luke Patten" instead of Brett Hodgson in the 2006 Origin when he gifted Lockyer that try in the dying minutes & gifted them the series that cursed us for the following decade.

Agree with your comments re 2010-2019. However Turvey definitely the player of 80 to 89. He played in 5 GF and won 4. Lamb played in 3 GF and won 2. Turvey saved 3 tries in 80 GF and was the main reason we got to the 79 GF from 5th place. Lamb did not play in 85 GF and Turvey controlled the game and pinned the Dragons in their half and goal line. Turvey was also our best player in the 86 GF when we should have won.

1980-1989 turvey

1990- 1999 lamb

2000-2009 sherwin

2010-2019 hate to say it but klemmer

Ben Babar, would have to be up there for 2010 - 2019

Going to base it purely on footy ability only ,
The players I actually shed a tear after leaving the mighty Bulldogs
Steve Mortimer
Terry lamb
Bobcat
SBW
Barba , I cried the most for man game day the butterflies knowing that the X factor will do another special was amazing feeling watching with my son live at the stadium Barba play was really cool as a supporter to experience the best season I enjoyed watching most in all the years 2012

 

[_G-Dog_]

1980 Mortimer
1990 Lamb
2000 Patten/Bobcat (Price deserves mention)
2010 Graham/Ennis

 

[Killara DogStat]

One hit wonders
Ben Cizlowski
Nick Kouparitsis

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Can't really comment for the first two decades as I was born in 92 and didn't really watch any footy religiously until 2001...
2000-2009: Hazem El Masri
2010-2019: Josh Morris / James Graham hard too split

 

[wendog33]

Sad reality ...

2010-present = no stand outs (or we let them go

Les Johns and Kevin Ryan 60,s
George Peronist 70,s
