18th Man - Hardaker

Coach - McDermott

No Ellis?

Your home-grown bias is a tad strong.

Webb

Hall
Watkins
Senior
Bai

Harris
McGuire

McDermott
Buderus
Peacock
Ellis
Lauititi
Sinfield

Burrow
Morley
Cuthbertson
JJB

As good as Ellis was he was only at Leeds for 4 years compared to Ablett and JJB who've been playing for 10 or 11. It's why I chose Diskin at 9 instead of Buderus and didn't include Cuthbertson.

If anything my choice of Briscoe over someone like Bai or Calderwood was probably the harder choice.

And there's only 9 out of the 17 I chose who are homegrown.

Mark tookey

Mark Tookey, who had had a solid career in the NRL before he came to England, was a much loved cult figure among the fans at London. He was highly respected by the other players as well.

Mark was given a lot more game time in London, and scored a lot more tries (6) -- not bad for a prop -- than he had scored at the then faltering Castleford club (1).

Wellens

Sullivan
Martyn
Long
Graham
Cunningham
Britt
Joynt
Fairleigh
Sculthorpe

Roby
Walmsley
Perelini
Darren Smith

Fairleigh was a prop, but could play second row to an equally immense level.
Some players unlucky to miss out, such as the immense Kevin iro.
Went for Darren Smith at the end for some utility, pipping the likes of Lee Gilmour, Sean Hoppe and Jon Wilkin.

Withers
Vaikona
Naylor
Hape
Vainikolo
Henry Paul
Robbie Paul
Vagana
Lowes
McDermott
Peacock
Menzies
Brad Mackay

Deacon

I'd have Nickle in for Britt but despite the competition for places I can't argue too much with the rest

Really? In front of the likes of Lynch and Burgess?
