Western Force Team of the Decade

[Darren]

Just real;ised that it was telling everyone (other than me) to "go away" ... Should be OK now

http://twf.com.au/totd.php

For those keen - a rather hastily assembled page to vote can be found here: http://twf.com.au/totd.php

You can't edit once submitted, but if you vote more than once, only the last vote will count (previously submitted nomination will be deleted automatically).

I just have to work on getting the info back out into readable form

[GIGS20]

OK, I've had time and Darren's poll to think about this and I'm prepared to go with
1 Pekka
2 Cheese (by a nose)
3 Kieran
4 John Welborn (Who can forget the Mayor)
5 Sharpie
6 Hodgo (we forget that he was a bloody good 6 when Pocock was our 7.....needed to shif him to get Pocock in the team)
7 Bam Bam (Not the current hippy flower child, the boy monster who used to rip peoples arms out of their sockets and still had a running game)
8 the Big Dog (Brownie didn't even rate a mention in my team... that's how good our backrows have been
9 Mathewson (I didn't want to put Prior in, since he's a benchrider, but Chucky stannard and Chrisso don't really make that grade)
10 Jimmy Hilgendorf - Forget Brock James, Matt Giteau or any of those other fancy boys....Jimmy was the best flyhalf we have ever had.
11 The Badge - who else?
12 Matt Giteau (If John Mitchell had the stones to keep him at 12 we would have been a far better team IMHO)
13 Spanner (Has the heart to play anywhere in the backline and Giteau is more lively at 12)
14 Dave Smith
15 Cam Shepherd (just shading Jayden Hayward)

16 Taipan
17 Boof Hardy the try scoring machine
18 PAE, we didn't see the best of this boy
19 Adam Coleman, we ARE seeing the best of this one
20 Steve Mafi, 5, 6 & 8, how can you ignore that!
21 the Chuckster, again for versatility, Chrisso for heart
22 Jayden Hayward, to cover the outside backs catching the high ball and kicking in general play
23 James O'Connor, because he's a jack of all trades, (except 10, which Chucky can do) best spot....wing

I've had a quick manual look at the forwards as voted here on TWF. Not a lot of votes, but they almost all say the same thing!

Get your nomination in: http://twf.com.au/totd.php

... I'm thinking of revamping this to team of the year - ie. who TWF folk think should have been taking the field each week this year...

[Political BS]

Brendan Cannon was the best hooker we ever had.....

[Stone Cold]

Plenty of scrum-halves, hookers and outside backs. Struggle in the centres and at lock.

This week vote for the Backrowers

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7GMPTBB

[GIGS20]

Wow, that was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.

(the hardest part was deciding to play Hodgo out of position at 6)

[The InnFORCEr]

And now for the Scrummy and Fly half

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YBMFWR8

[GIGS20]

That was a helluva lot harder than the back row
