I think I could chop and change my personal best 13, but Best, Swain, Smith, Kearney and Cooke feature in all variations.
Good call. Sam Moa was a very astute signing. He'd only played 1 NRL game before he came over and was very raw. I remember he made his debut away at Hudds' and he was clearly out of shape but worked hard and went on to have a very good career in SL and back in the NRL and gained international honours.
Berrigan came over as our starting hooker but because of injuries was played all over the place. For me his best position was centre but he hardly played there and we never saw the best of him.
Fonua was great first time but should never have been brought back. I noticed that he got a bit of stick last week from some fans which I thought was pretty poor. Sneyd gets a bit of abuse as well which I just don't get.
Fitzgibbon was a machine and gave us real leadership but his body gave up on him.
The most disappointing signing for me on reputation was Matt Sing. He was a regular international and origin player but never really stood out while he was here.
