Guess the Year

[Wahesh]

Just a quick game to pass some time. I'm going to list a team as close as possible and just try and guess the year that team is from.

1. Luke Patten
2. Hazem El Masri
3. Nigel Vagana
4. Willie Talau
5. Shane Marteene
6. Braith Anasta
7. Darrell Trindall
8. Darren Britt
9. Craig Polla-Mounter
10. Steve Price
11. Steve Reardon
12. Darren Smith
13. Travis Norton

14. Willie Mason
15. Paul Rauhihi
16. Barry Ward
17. Brent Sherwin/Corey Hughes/Glenn Hughes

 

[JayBee]

2002
*realised Trindall left end of 02*

 

[Spoonman84]

2001

 

[TwinTurbo]

2002
*realised Trindall left end of 02*

Smith also left at the end of 2002 but Ward left at the end of 2001 and Rahihi only played for us for 2 years 2001 and 2002.
So my guess is 2001.

Go Dogs

Smith also left at the end of 2002 but Ward left at the end of 2001 and Rahihi only played for us for 2 years 2001 and 2002.
So my guess is 2001.

Darren Britt left at the end of 2001 as well.

 

[Scoooby]

2001 definitely.
No Barry ward, Darren Brit or Shane marteene in the 2002 team as I recall. Could be wrong lol.

2001. First year for patten and last year for britt with dogs. The only year they played together at the club

 

[Wahesh]

2001 - correct year. Well done guys.

Changes in 2002 included:

5. Utai
7. Sherwin
8. O'Meley
9. Hughes

2001 definitely.
No Barry ward, Darren Brit or Shane marteene in the 2002 team as I recall. Could be wrong lol.

Marteene actually started the year with us in 2002 after a solid 2001, but was swapped for Utai in our first game against Souths. That's when Vagana scored 5 tries in one game.

Oh well, I was close haha, got the year correct so I’m proud of that lol. Thanks for that little bit of info mate.

I'm pretty sure Martenne never played NRL in 2002 Gavin Lester started in 2002 until Utai replaced him with injury I think.

1998

Some facts and memories:

- This was my first year as a kid properly getting into the full NRL season.
- Travis Norton didn't play many games that year. I think he had a season ending injury from memory.
- Brett Howland played a fair few games that year also.
- Rod Silva played 1 game that year in the final round against the Dragons. The next week we played the Dragons again in the finals and I think he was dropped. That would be his last game for us.
- Was a big year for Anasta. Played for Australia later that year and was the intercept king.

I know Lester definitely played in our round 2 draw against the Broncos, I can't confirm the round 1 lineup though.

Yep that's right. Lester played first 3 games and once Utai came in he never left.

It was Lester in round 1

Utai got dallym rookie of the year if im not mistaken

Utai got dallym rookie of the year if im not mistaken

Yep that's right. There was also early talk of him playing Origin, however he denied that himself. He made a BIG impact during his first year.

 

[Wahesh]

I also forgot Jamie Feeney was a reserve in 2001 as was Dennis Scott. I remember Feeney brock Scott Prince's leg in 2001. Man that was bad.
