    Righto, we will have (in no particular order) at this stage Rogers, Tuqiri, Hewat, Freier, Henjak, Gregan and Dunning.
    Will put the Poll up tomorrow arvo so if there are any other noms then get them in. Any takers for perhaps Tuney or even Rodzilla or walk on the tightrope and name another Force player?

    Henjak definitely, although you have to be rated before you can be overrated. The fact that so many on here are willing to say he's in top form at the moment without seeing him play against quality opposition is interesting... Hence why I think at the present time, he's overrated.

    Peter Hewat, didn't get the callup to the Wallabies in 2005 despite numerous injuries to the squad, still has tickets on himself for a Wallabies spot.

    Rogers definitely...

    John Roe, what more needs to be said. Never should have been a Wallaby

    walk on the tightrope and name another Force player?
    I nominate Mat Giteau as I don't think he's worth 4.5 mil.

    David Fitter? With all the talk of him being the 'scrum saviour' for the Wallabies he does a whole lot of nothing around the field.

    I didn't think David Fitter was bad but he did have problems settling in to the Western Force.....unfortunately he's not in Super 14 anymore. Shame Wendal is not still about he would win hands down. Purely based on recent performance I think I would have to go with Rogers as well.

    Oh and BTW, I personally feel we should not be knocking Henjak, as he obviously had a confidence problem last year and we should be encouraging him to perform. If after a few games he doesn't then he's fare game.

    Which, if I recall correctly involved a glass of ice, Lote Tuquiri and Wendell Sailor did it not?

    Hmm Dell turned out to be a Bastion of Wallaby Virtues...

    The feeling from my mates in Canberra in the Premiership rugby competition after Henjak got back was "Fall Guy"...

    Probably not, but on spring tour form his 1.5 Million a year is made up of:

    Being the best half back on spring tour - $750,000
    Being the best inside centre in the world - $750,000
    Playing for the Force and not the Tahs - Priceless!

    You're funny.... You should do standup mate.

    I've just looked up the list of weakest comebacks ever and yours is climbing the ranks...

    I did do that last year, I'll do my best to do so again this year. But he was horrible in the APC game aganist the tahs and that was the only half decent competition he was exposed to in my opinion post S14.

    Sage -- I watched saw him against the japanese touring sides and he was garbage then. He spent most of his time crying to the ref, he would have had to improve out of sight for me to put him ahead of O'Young, because on what I saw of him there are 9's playing Club rugby here in perth that were performing better.

    Most overrated for mine goes to the league converts... Wendell, Rogers and Lote.
    I love all the talk about us needing to go on another raid!!! After the success of the last one I hope the ARU has learnt its lesson.

    To be eligible a player must have significant support from a vocal minority and pretty much ignored by the majority.

    Righto, I'm sitting on about seven that qualify, need ten before the poll goes up.
    Player also needs to be in a Super 14 Squad this year to qualify.

    We should do this on GTT and then put our top 5 vs your top 5?
