    I think they are being harsh on the likes of G. Stewart as he was one of the better players for Souths this year and Tomkins while signed on a massive contract at least performed like a First-Grader and one of the better ones at that. (Compared to someone like Sandow)

    Yep, very harsh on Glenn Stewart.  I hope the bloke and even I'll say that.  Tomkins as well, played some very good games and did a lot of organising on the field.  I guess the proice tag is what puts him in there.

    The Tigers have tried to convert way too many average Rugger players over the last 15 years.

    Considering the articles says only big name signings there are a few blokes on there that should feel pretty chuffed to have made the list.

    Gavet 2015 Broncos should feel lucky to have missed out

    Tomkins deserves to be there based on what it cost to get him but not based on performance. Played pretty well at the end of his 1st year and was definitely an under rated cog in the warriors machine by some and helped provide some playmaking stability to go with Johnson. This year he was either injured or playing poorly so take what you want from this year.

    Not sure if Anthony Tupou deserves his spot. He's had a pretty shit run with injuries and personally I always thought he looked relatively decent for the sharks when he could string a few games together.

    I was disappointed to hear the Broncos let him go. I was looking forward to seeing him hopefully get an injury free run in 2016.

    I couldn't believe Bennett picked him up. It would have been cheap, but even so.

    +1
    Although he was made of glass, every time he was on the field he tackled hard, ran hard, off-loaded often, and supported the ball runners well.
    He was [to me at least] exciting to watch and always looked likely to break the line.

    Although, like Tupou,  due mainly to injury [and a 7 week suspension], Ben Ross would be way ahead of Tupou on any shit list.

    The Broncos have had a fair few flops recently. On a much brighter note Milford has been one of our best signings for a long time.

    Harsh on Tomkins, but lets not go there again (been done to death on Sportal).

    I'd also say Berrigan wasnt that bad a signing for us.

    Nielsen needs to be higher, by far our worst signing.
