Scott Hill is a difficult one.



Who would you have him replace? SL leading try scorer, "Mr Intercept" Denis Moran? Or Jim Dymock? The latter would be the only possibility, unless you wanted to drop Tackling Machine and No 1 tackler in SL for one year, Steele Retchless, and move Dymock to 2nd row. Or drop the other 2nd row, Lee Hopkins, who was one of the best attacking 2nd rowers in SL, and again put Dymock in 2nd row?



Hard decision there.



Peter Gill would replace who?



I thought about Terry Matterson, but decided the three backrowers I picked were better than him.

Not true of Mark McLinden, Martin Offiah, Rob Purdham, Michael Robertson, Denis Moran, Antonio Kaufusi, Solomon Haumono, Louis M-S,



And though Richie Barnett was just past his prime, he was still an awesome player. I sawe some unforgettable tries by him from full back, esp against Alfie Langer's Warrington in 2001, with magical sidesteps around Lee Briers and 3 others, also against St Helens. The guy was still top drawer when a year or two past his prime.



The only ones whom that could have been said of were Jim Dymock, Henry Paul and Craig Gower, yet they were and are still classy when past their prime. Surely Gower is now one of top 2 Scrum halves in SL today, along with Scott Dureau. As with Henry Paul, several years in rugby union preserved Gower for his final years in rugby league at a riper age than most halves could still play.

I did consider them. But I would want Denis Moran and Craig Gower ahead of them any day of the week.

Wot no place for Luke Dorn ? (surely some mistake) and El Tel Matterson?

How silly are you.

Offiah hardly played in the 3 or 4 years he was there. I'm pretty sure he was 30 when he signed for them as well, no question he was past it.



I'm surprised nobody has picked Villa the Gorrilla in their team.

We have not had many class wingers and Martin does hold the club try scoring record in a game!

Were you on the sauce last night? Leuluai was terrible for us.

I'd say terrible is being a bit harsh but he wasn't great, not worthy of a mention in this thread certainly.

Terrible compared to what? We'd shifted (is that shafted) Little Dennis off to Wigwam and TL did better for us than the little master Moran managed at Wigan

Tommy, Dorny and Marty Mclinden were brilliant - the golden triangle. What a year that was!

Widnes and Wakefield both put to the sword at Griffin Park......cracking atmosphere....and as my wife has just remined me, eye candy on the wing in the shape of NBQ!
