Opinion Was Shifty our best ever 7? If not who was better??

[Dyldog]

Who was better?

Steve Mortimer

 

[craigo]

Best in the modern era no doubt and we’ve had nothing like him since. His short kicking game was up there with Joey at times in his career!

 

[habs]

In the last 20 years yes. Kimmorley second and Hokko third.

 

[Dogzof95]

Shifty, one of the smartest 7's to have ever played, talk about playing in the wrong era!! Easily could have represented state and country, unfortunately Johns also played in the same era!

 

[Dog’n’Bone]

shifty was an absolute genius. Certainly our best from the modern era

 

[bradyk]

Since I've been supporting, Hodkinson.

Who was better?

Surely this is clickbait. Steve Mortimer by a galaxy.

Polly was a talent

 

[Spoonman84]

Shifty was a decent half but only produced 3 years of great football. He could have and should have had a much better career. I’d take Turvey and Polly over him every time.

Once he got the 5(?) yr extension after 2004, he was never the same.player.

Different eras but Turvey by the length of the straight

 

[Bulldog1966]

No he wasn't not even close..aside from Turvey as mentioned Craig Polla Mounter was a ripper.

Hodkinson was pretty good in his time, next to shifty of course!!

 

[Dogs Of War]

Lets not forget Ewan McGrady's awesome one and done season.

 

[Papa Joe]

For Mine Mortimer stands out as our Best ever.

Second by a nose is Shifty - for his kicking game & slight of hand

Third & not far behind is premiership winning Half Back Craig Polla-Mounter - with his sheer toughness, tenacity and his will to win.

It was a photo finish for 2nd & 3rd for mine.

 

[Alex Hunter]

Best ever!? How old are you?

Had a bad hip/pelvic problem that he never really got over. Shame - he was a goodun.

This
Majorly inconsistent for a large chunk of his career
Probably papered over by the fact we had a fucking gun team the whole time he was playing
