12 on the injury list this week, albeit 4 are 'tests'.

Not really ideal circumstances, but you'd want to make sure you bring everything against the Lions

I'm not as old as most, so i'm choosing from mid/late 80's onwards.

Kouta
Diesel
Silvagni
Cripps
Kernahan

As good as Cripps is, his poor kicking drops him down the order for me.

One of the big problems these games are facing is the timing.
The original scheduling had them in Victoria mid March.

Where they are scheduled now has them right on top of the European Track championships in Birmingham (a lot of British athletes are prioritising those), The World Junior Track and Field..... and for the swimmers the Pan Pacs.

Didnt realise Haynesy plays his 250th alongside the Skipper.
We are an absolute lock to win this.

Swan McKay was handy in that era.

I couldn't do a top 5, how do you rank one gun versus another?

My exact point Prof. I'd hazard a guess and say we argue all day long over top 20 let alone a top 5. I always say it, we have been blessed with more of the the best to play the game than any other club. Look at the TOTC.
Crippa is up there, not sure about top 5 even with his two Brownlows.
