Your missing a 5 green machine. To continue with your theme of drop kicks how about the biggest Knob on ZT getting that spot. Congrats WOODY, your off the bench. Go get me ya muppet
Gimmie some help there people. Was A’va a winger. But I’m missing one of the raiders best in Fergo. That should a been a breeze..
Nah he was just pierce’s jedi master. SKD maybe, but he was just a victim of Nick’s salary cap woes.
I prob should swap Dave Taylor out as he’s more of a “could a been greatest team”. Woah that’s an idea. Channels 9’s could have been team.

Jamie Lyon captained his team to a grand final in 2011 as well as getting 4 Dally M centre of the year awards from 2010-2014. He also got 2 Dally M captains of the year. Hodges played 5 years this decade all at the same time as Lyon with Hodges not winning 1 Dally M medal he also had two major injuries in that time.
Vatuvei has to start. He is the first player ever to score more than 10 tries in 10 consecutive years. He also is the Warriors and Kiwis all time top try scorer, currently sits 11th all time NRL top try scorers.
James Graham also deserves his spot in the team.
Jarryd Hayne has been in and out of the game but his record speaks for itself. In 2014 he was the NRL leading try scorer, he helped NSW finally win a SOO after 9 years. He won player of the year, fullback of the year and Rep player of the year.
Lastly Simon Mannering, he’s the Warriors most capped player, he won a World Cup, four nations, captained the warriors to a grand final loss. He averaged about 80 mins, 40+ tackles and often scored tries playing in the second row or centres at times. SBW only played in 2 years this decade.
Transit lounge roosters have 1 player in that side who has been at the club more than 2 years.
Cordner, who shouldn’t even be there.
EDwoodSybil, your team has 1 problem.
Declining memberships shows how much they view them as team of the decade.
The only nrl team with empty members bars at home games this year.
Time for you to move on champ.
Is there seriously something wrong with EdwardWoodWood1 ?
If you are a child say 6 years old then ok but I think you are an adult which points to you having some serious childish, mental issues. We know who you really are and have been kicked out once before for this exact same ridiculous comments. Grow up EdwardWoodWood1.
Hey EdwardWoodWood1 what about M Pearce famous dog act or P Carter just to name a few.
Roosters had T Carney when he did his famous pee pee act.
Yeah great culture at Roosters…..
Greg Ingles and Jonothan Thurston were very good players.
