Senior List
So I just got from Santa the 2000 Finals Series plus the 2000 H&A Highlights DVD.
God they were great. Tough as teak. The rule changes since would infuriate our backline of MJ, Fletch, Wellman, Solly, Wally and Dimma. You would not come off without a bruise against that lot.
You see Hirdy playing and his greatness is just so sublime to watch.....
Mercs.....what a champion. Didn't miss. Then his downhill after personal tragedy makes watching him at his peak painful (shh about that miss in 99)
Rama....what you could have been without that illness.
Lloyd and Lucas....nothing to say except look at their career records.
Blumfield, Heff, Cara...whoever stuffed up our cap should be shot.
JJ....a human battering ram. Barnesy and Cess.....bang onto chests and then mobile around the ground. Boris, Barney, and all the guys in the Club like Cyril etc.
Average winning 77 points over 3 Finals. I am not sure if any Club did it before but definitely not since.
Best Team I have ever seen by a country mile even 84/85....deserved to win 2 more ...... better than any Dawk 3 Peat Team. 2000 would have smashed them. Dawk head duckers wouldn't have got up.
