It's a good thread Josho well done.

I'm an oldie so like others on here - the greatest ever Sharks player in any position was Steve Rogers. Tommy Bishop did a lot to instill some backbone in us and Greg Pierce was a great leader but no one lit up the crowd like Rogers did. Whenever he got the ball, you'd automatically jump out of your seat, you just knew something was going to happen. He had pace, swerve, the step and his defence was absolutly rock solid.

On the ET v Gallen scale, it's hard to compare them because they play in different positions. Yes Gal is tough and in the engine room but after a bit of a shaky start defence wise, ET became one of the most solid defenders you would see out in the backs. I remember many times some of the hits and tackles he would make were mind blowing. He could pick up an attacker and take him back 5 or 10 metres without anyone coming in to help him.
And in attack, there was nothing better than seeing him in the clear - not many could chase him down. When he first started I remember a game against Parra at Shark Park - Brett Kenny was a flier in those days and he got into the clear with no one in front of him. ET gave him 10 yards start and easily mowed him down. I knew then we had a champion player.

ET would be my pick for sure.

Wonder if he sends Stuart a Xmas card every year, to thank him for signing him on a nice juicy overs contract.
