scott prince, you dumb ****, played at the highest level and won a premiership
Prince probably did not reach the heights he could have --> suffered a bad leg break for the Broncos playing against us, being dumped by the QLD selectors for an up and coming Thurston, and leaving a Tigers team that had won a premiership for an expansion team in the Titans

got to disagree, he was a champion at the tigers, won a premiership, played origin and if you get replaced by a future immortal then you arent dumped.

dumping Prince after the 2004 Origin series for Thurston midway through his first season with the Cowboys was harsh but ultimately, a good call

Shaun Johnson

I always looked upon him as a more robust and durable Benji Marshall... could have been in the top 4-5 players of his generation IMO

Cameron smith.
Actually you are right, a young Cameron Smith is the perfect comparison to Kyle Flanagan, except for the fact that at the same age Smith won the Dally M..

I thought the Tigers centre, Dean Collis, could have had a really good career
