FOOTY TRAGEDY: YOUNG COAST PLAYER PASSES AWAY

10. WILLIAM ZILLMAN

Signed as a talented but injury-hit Raiders fullback, Zillman proved a talisman for the Titans across 156 games.

His career ended in 2017 was unceremoniously cut but he had done more than enough to earn a spot in the top 10.

9. NATE MYLES

Has divided opinion somewhat on if the Maroons veteran proved his true worth across 75 games from 2012-15.

However it was undeniable that the forward added professionalism to the Titans in that time and played his part. It’s telling that the club would probably love a player like Myles now.

The current club captain has endured a horror stretch the past two seasons with twin ACL tears.

However there has never been any questions over his dedication to the cause, or his likability.

Fans would love to see him add to his games tally of 144.

7. ANTHONY LAFFRANCHI

Murwillumbah-born forward evolved from first-grader at Wests Tigers to Origin and Aussie player after his 2007 switch north.

His 102 matches were the best of his career and helped the club reach finals, a fact that gives him the edge over other forwards on the list.

Another hard player to rank given he’s been the club’s best for two years and 40 games, albeit in terrible campaigns.

Perhaps the true value of his worth is the fact he would still be a strong performer even in a better side, and we won’t let the fact he’s joining Souths in 2021 stop him from holding a high ranking.
