| Quote ="Biff Tannen"icon_lol.gif plenty amiss here.
Just for starters Cunningham over Roby and thats not thinking back before turn of the century.
Martin Offiah did far more in a GB shirt than Robinson, his best years (Certainly on the international stage) were in RU.
Hanley in the centre?? He is one of, if not THE best 13 in the world ever! That is where you would put him in this team.
Jonathan Davies? not for me there has to have been better.Schofield's best days for GB came playing at 6 between 89 and 94.
I wouldn't be able to go back before the mid 80's from personal opinion of having seen them however from what i know and have been told Boston,Murphy,Millward and Reilly would have to go in.'"
If you would base it on how they actually performed in a GB shirt, how can you have Cunningham in there?  |

Would have thought Alan Hardisty would be candidate at 6?

What Lewis and Van Barnevelde props, Taylor hooker, bak row of Priestley, Part and Van Gerwen. Not that mobile but we'd beat the Kiwis for size.
I'm struggling in the backs Keith Dellar for Full back and Jelle Klaasen could be a nippy little half.
Scott Waites on the wing he's another big lad but has te self confidence to be a good finisher in the corner by backing hinself to go on the outside. |

Anyone who picks someone other than Roger Millward at no 6 obviously never saw him play. I did.
I also saw Brian McTigue, who was the most creative and clever prop forward ever seen.

Seeing as you've made space for a couple of might-have-beens, I think you could consider Goulding a challenger to Gregory. For two-and-a-half seasons at Saints he was magisterial, and it's easy to forget he was still in his early twenties at the time. Pity he chucked it all away; a real wasted career, that one. |

If you saw McTigue then why would you need to 'research' Paul Charlton and why would you omit Ashton and Fox as centres ? |

| Quote ="Derwent"Paul Charlton is the greatest full back GB has produced. A measure of how good he was is that when the "immortal" Graeme Langlands retired St George's preferred choice to replace him was Charlton, but he rejected the offer to go down under.'"
Is the correct answer.
Far and away our greatest full-back of the past 50 years.
A scandal that he was overlooked whilst at Workington - missing out on the 1966 and 1970 Lions tours but going in 1974. He almost immediately made the test team following a big-money move to glamour club Salford and starred in the '72 World Cup triumph. |

Because I was a very young lad at the time, and I did not remember the names of all the English players I was watching. However what struck me was how clever the English forwards were, how they often bamboozled the unsopsticated Australian forwards with reverse passes and flick passes, and the name that they always mentioned in the newspapers and on TV in this regard was Brian McTigue. On the other hand I knew that the Australian outside backs were much more talented than their Englsh opponents. Reginald Gasnier and Graeme Langlands were the standouts, followed by Kenneth Irvine. The English centres Neil Fox and Eric Ashton seemed so mediocre by comparison. |
