    Dave Pusey was the first official signing! Canno was just the most advertised one!
    Mine would be Staniforth, Sharpe and Hodgo, with Canno next

    1 Sharpe
    2 Hodgo
    3 Spanner

    No question in my mind, the three best clubmen the Force has ever had.

    My picks would be as with Shasta, however I'd be inclined to go with Staniforth while Hodgo is still going around.

    It is too hard to say "Scott Staniforth". it is much easier to say "Spanner".

    Aussie tradition, innit? If it's too long then shorten it; if it's too short then lengthen it. And the nickname as well.

    Staniforth > Stanners > Spanner

    Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.

    In no particular order - Staniforth, Sharpe, Hodgo

    Honorable mentions - Pek Cowan, Kieran Longbottom, AJ Whalley, Richard Brown, Cam Shepherd

    Chris O'Young and James Stannard should also get a mention for returning to the Force after an leaving.

    And lastly every other bugger that's put their body on the line.

    I was thinking that this should exclude current players but that would mean no Hodgo so let's say you can have one from the current squad if you think they merit it.


    Ok so mine are

    1. Cameron Shepherd
    2. Nathan Sharpe
    3. Matt Hodgson

    Let us know what you think and how or if we should honour them somehow next year
    Hard to leave out spanner, taipan , Chris o young , badger,Benny Mac , Richard Brown amongst others.
    But with only a choice of 3, sheps has to be there. Leading points scorer, leading try scorer. Most memorable moment (hurricanes 2007 bulls 2007 brumbies 2008),I could go on.. But for injuries.. What might have been for wallabies too.

    I can never forget that first victory, sorry folks !

    Hodgo to be added upon retirement obviously
    Tough call for me between mcisaac and hodgo the other two are a given for me.

    I reckon it should only be for past players. So Hodgo will have to wait a little, so

    Sharpie
    Spanner
    Sheps
