From the start it would have to be Derek Bridgeman. Moving on, Tubbs and then a certain Mr D Powell come into play, Cooky also. Paul Carr and the mighty Was kept things lively. Gamma, say no more. Since our re-birth, Tubbs (again) Johnny Woodcock, Jack, Brendan, Mitch, Misi and loads more besides. Blimey, god knows how many Eagles legends there have been. Who are yours? Forgot about Iva Ropati.

Menzie is my favourite ever player I reckon. Brendon an absolute modern day Eagles legend. Obviously Tubbs, then from before Paul Carr and Keith Senior. The left hand side of Hay/Ford/McLarron in the 06 promotion season was insanely productive.

Bloody hell what a question,where do we start?,In the earlier days i used to love Bruce Mcguire what a hardman,Paul Carr,Sam Panapa and off course Mark Gamson used to smoke 20 fags a day followed by 8 pints after the match,Always remember his two tries to win against Saints,A player with limited ability but played consistently in super league aand became a big favourite,Theres loads really,Brief spell but Dave Watson was a character,Out of the current crop,For entertainment you cant look no further than Menzie,Tangi,Misi etc,Used to like Rob worrincy he was good to watch :CURTAIN: I can see an all-time Eagles thread coming on :lol:

Remember that players playing in Super League would have to better than those that played in NL2.

What's that got to do with your favourite player ?

It's not necessarily the best player technically.

Because ESO mentioned Hay/Ford/McLarron being insanely productive in 06 - I can't see them being as good as that against the SL opposition of the 90s or the current CC opponents. It's pretty easy to look good against London Skolars.

If you are looking at players who you want to watch, and who are top quality, Menzie has to be up there.

I didn't say the Hay/Ford/McLarron combination was insanely productive and it would also be insanely productive in super league, obviously it wouldn't, I was just making the point that I enjoyed watching them play.
