I voted for Steve Ella. I loved the Guru on the rampage but Zip Zip was the best support player with Terry Lamb in the 80's. Great intuition, great hands, speed to burn and one of the game's gentlemen. Always in the right place at the right time. The Crow and Zip will never be shifted from the centres for Parra's all time best team.
I'll be surprised if its not Price v Kenny as the final 2.
Kenny wins it for me. Greatest 6 the game has ever seen
Eric Grothe Senior advances with nearly 70% of the vote. He will face Peter Sterling in the quarter finals.
What a match up we have today though. Mick Cronin, Parramatta's greatest ever points scorer and the inaugural Champion of Parramatta is up against Mr Perpetual Motion and one of the greatest locks of all time in Ray Price. This vote could be closer than the Sterling/Thornett round.
Mine won't. Hasn't got the right to vote yet.
Deadset. Fancy making us choose between these two Parra greats!
Different time zone in Russia Sluggy
Sterling voters will be back for the semi final.
Ray Price advances over teammate Mick Cronin. Price faces the winner of today's poll between workhorse and longest serving Eel Nathan Hindmarsh and diminutive but dependable 1980s fullback Paul Taylor.
Nathan Hindmrash advances over Paul Taylor without much of an issue. That sets up a blockbuster match with Ray Price in the quarter finals.
Today we have an intriguing battle. Bob "The Bear" O'Reilly, one of Parramatta's greatest ever props up against one of the most damaging wingers in the NRL era in Semi Radradra. Will O'Reilly get over the line, or will the Semi trailer steamroll his way through?
