Almost clicked Greg Williams... but gotta be plugger...

Where's Nick Davis? Wouldn't have won the 2005 flag without him!

Has to be Plugger, but by the end of the Buddy deal, you may be able to argue he might be...

Guess it depends what he can do for the club.

In a decade he might be seen as the biggest masterstroke or flop any club has done

Bit ridiculous to have Buddy 2 when he hasn't done anything yet. To have him over a premiership captain and one of the most valuable players in the comp back in 2005 is ridiculous.

Surely this is all based on potential rather than what they have delivered or maybe money from guernsey sales
