1EE Modern day Eels team: Five-Eighth

Posted by LB on March 4, 2026 at 1:29pm

So Centre is all done and dusted. Timana Tahu and Jamie Lyon are the Centres chosen.

Now onto Five-Eighth, think i might know where this would go but someone also could surprise.

Side Note: I put Brett Finch in here as i can separate the art from the artist. We judging players not the person. Just clarifying. Also he played a full year at 6 and only played 2 full years so i classified him for 6.

  Yes, but he retired in 93, so no.

Brown has my vote. Team is shaping up nicely.

P.S - A poor choice of phrasing referring to Finch as an "artist" and his "art". He'd never make this team regardless.

LB or anybody that want's to put Eric Grothe Senior in a bracket for the wing spot with Luke Burt, the credability goes straight out of the window. The most embarrassed with that comparison would be Burtie himself......obviously you have no understanding of Eric Grothe the player, regarded by most judges of era's that have evolved as in the top 3 wingers of all time. Seriously Lukey would not make the top 100.

  LOL. Maybe understand the critera of the list before going off on a rant!

  It's a modern day team list. We won't be seeing Ken Thornett at fullback...

  Yep and that's why B Kenny should be the only candidate for the 6 in my humble opinion opinion Dave as i don't care when they played if they have put the Guru in and so he should be then what's the difference as Guru and B Kenny where in the same team hey Dave . I think it might be that alot on here were not fortunate enough to See Price Sterling Guru And Bert Kenny and the rest of Gods little children as I affectionately used to call them Hey Dave . I know LB has made the blog about Modern players but with Groth being named I can't go past Bert Kenny for the 6 as a said just my humble opinion
