Make 2 teams, one of childhood heros, another of current players you enjoy watching, not necessarily the best players in the game. This is mainly aimed at the older users, but the youngens can feel free to have a go to (But their oldies have to be retired or close to it) then tell us who would win and why..

I think, man for man, that the oldies would win quite easily. The Backline has plenty of skill and power with speed to burn, the forward pack has some of the toughest players ever to lace on the boots, (who can forget the harragon Vs Carroll Battles) (look it up on youtube), The halves have a cheeky and cocky halfback and a crafty 5/8 who will steer the team with ease, and the bench has one of the best chip and chase exponents ever in blake and 3 more tough hombres to pummel the N.K.O.T.B into submission...

I'll have a go but mine will be a work in progress might just stick to the golden oldies and make NZ and G.B. ones also.

Probably change a couple after i have a Coffee

surely a panther fan such as yourself has got to put royce simmons ahead of walters.. apart from the 89 grand final, his game winning try off geyer is one of my earliest grand final memories, and prob one of my fav of all time. I went to the same high school he did (cowra high) and his dad used to own a pub in a little town called gooloogong... what bout alexander as your halfback??

I'm just 22 so not old old but pretty old
