You could make three or four teams but I reckon they're the best

Very strange team! Gregory and Nikau were never centres. And Tamati was more of a hooker for us - doesn't come close to being our best prop (Boyd?!). And Fozzard played more prop than 2nd row and wouldn't come near the top of either list.

i missed loads my mind went blank lol

Wow - that's a hell of a team!

Surely there's room for Higham in there somewhere.

1 . j davies
2 . des drummond

coach . no contest tony smith

I was going to say water carrier, but a lot of the time he'd drop the bottle spilling it everywhere other times he'd hold on to it a bit too long, preventing the man from getting a quick drink of the water and causing dehydration.

Based on players I've seen rather than heard about

1 . Hesford
2 . Hicks
3 . Bateman
4 . King
5 . Bevan J
6 . Briers
7 . Gregory A
8 . Boyd
9 . Monaghan M
10. Morley
11. Jackson
12. Westwood
13. Gregory M

14 . Tamati
15 . Eccles
16 . Martyn
17 . Davies

or he would run on and throw it as hard as he could at the person 2 yards away requiring a drink, making it very difficult to catch.

I like it.

I couldn't possibly to do one of these the choices would be vast and I'd only really be able to do it over the past 5 or so years (I was too young from 1-10 and then didn't watch as often for a while. Plus if I was putting in like Davies or Gregory it would be hearsay and videos)

cant believe you put sculthorpe before gregory at loose

can't disagree with this selection, your right about Mr Bateman as well superb centre!

Hodgson
Drummond
Gleeson
Davies
King
Briers
Langer
Morley
Monaghan
Boyd
Westwood

Sculthorpe

1. Mike Wernham
2. Leroy Rivett

7. Michael Sulivan
8. Craig Teitzel
9. John Thursfield
10.Mark Jones
11.Robi Muller
12.Brendan Tuuta
13.Basil Richards

Bench/Adam Doyle,Dallas Mead,Andy Bennett and Matt Rocket Rodwell..

I'd take that over Widnes' current team

Asda bakery staff,

Out of interest, why would you pick Hesford ahead of Davies? IIRC he was quite slow.

J Davies

C Hicks
A Bateman
M King...... got to get him in somewhere
J Bevan

L Briers
A Gregory

L Boyd..... best player I have seen in a wire shirt
M Monaghan
A Morley
T Martyn.... He would have been unstoppable in todays game
B Westwood
M Gregory

B Eccles
K Tamati
T Nikau
P Blake


Again this team is picked from players I have seen could have picked at least 2 players in every position and ended up with a team just as strong.

1 Whitehead
2 Drummond
3 King
4 Davies
5 J Bevan
6 Kelly
7 Gordon
8 Boyd
9 M.Monaghan
10 Jackson
11 Martyn
12 Roberts
13 Gregory

Subs - Briers, Morley, Miller, Davidson

1 Davies
2 Drummond
3 Bateman
4 Blake
5 King
6 Briers
7 Langer
8 Roach
9 M.Monaghan
10 Rowland Philips
11 Westwood
12 Davidson
13 Gregory

Moz, Carvell, Roberts, K Shelford

he was at least 6ft 2, very good under the high ball, and our best ever goal kicker, clearly not as good a player as Davies, but a typical old school fullback.

He actually made the transition from full back to wing by accident When our regular fullback Derek Finegan broke his leg at central park. Finegan couldnt get into the team again, leaving Hesford as first choice full back for the next 5 seasons.

1 Davies
2 Drummond
3 Bateman
4 Blake
5 J. Bevan
6 J. Woods
7 A. Gregory
8 Boyd
9 M.Monaghan
10 B.Jackson
11 Westwood
12 M. Gregory
13 Sculthorpe
