We were having a chat on social media late last week talking about which player we'd bring back from a previous era who we believe would star today.

Each week I'm going to take a look at five past stars I'd love to bring back into the modern game.

What better way to start than with my side, the Sharks?

For the purpose of this, I'm going to keep it to the players I've been able to see. Being in my early 30's, I never saw Steve Rogers or Gavin Miller, so I can't really comment. I know they're great, Gav Miller even bought me a drink following a big win in 2016. Legend!

Again though, these will be players I've seen play. Five former Sharks I'd love to see back in the game. The five I'd like to see slot into the current NRL squad. These won't include recently retired players such as Lewis, Gallen and Ennis.

4. Preston Campbell

There's a theme running here; excitement! There was no player more exciting than the former Dally M medalist Preston Campbell.

The day Campbell signed for the Panthers is a day we try to forget in the Shire as the superstar utility turn title-winning half was meant to lead us to our first title.

We all know the story re Kimmorley coming in and Campbell supposedly not wanting to shift positions. I don't care. He and Kimmorley should have been the halves combo to take us to the promised land and no one can convince me otherwise.

What a superstar! What an excitement machine!

Can you imagine Campbell and Johnson in the halves for the Sharks? Sure there would be frustrating days but those occasions where both players were "on" would be worth every single second of waiting.
