Since it is the week of representative football, I thought it would be nice to recognise the unrecognised – the club player that has achieved it all by making first grade.
Every year, whether here on The Roar or elsewhere, fans debate just who is the most underrated player in the competition. Well, now we get to see what it would look like if they all lined up next to each other.
After all, without them we have no club competition. This is the NRL’s Unrepresentative Team.
So, to qualify, the player must not have played any senior rep footy, and have been in the NRL long enough not to expect it – no gun rookies.
Here is my team. They will be known as ‘The Senators’ because, as Paul Keating famously described them, they are unrepresentative swill.
Fullback: Corey Norman
Wing: Johnathon Wright
Centre: Dale Copley
Centre: William Zillman
Wing: Pat Richards
Five Eighth: Chad Townsend
Halfback: Jeff Robson
Lock: David Gower
Second Row: Scott Bolton
Second Row: Nigel Plum
Front Row: Jeremy Latimore
Hooker: Andrew McCullough
Front Row: Dave Tyrrell
Reserve: Blake Green
Reserve: Tim Browne
Reserve: Matt White
Reserve: Dane Tilse
Coach: Shane Flanagan
I know Dane Tilse has just departed the scene, but he is the reason I started thinking about this team. This mob may not win too many games, but they sure as hell would not let their teammates down.
Let me know what you think. Have I missed someone? Who would make your squad?
