Nutley ahead of Sir Les Boyd? You surprise me there!

I was very tempted by picking Johnson too, but I didn't want to have to weaken the front row to do so and being forced to play Asotasi off the bench!!!!

This way he's starting at Swinton and England is at St John's Ambulance.

Bobby Fulton - one of the all time greats (& Stockton Heath lad if memory serves)
John Bevan - one of the best finishers, unstoppable near the line & great defence.
Steve Hesford - best kicker I have seen and top full back, superb under high ball
Tommy Martyn - one of the best ball handling loose forwards
Mike Gregory - Captain fantastic, a true leader who lead by example

Good shout

M.Gregory: Purely on leadership alone forgetting his talent. We need a general, he's been the best we've had.
Davies: Pace, skill, kicking ability, never say die attitude.
Nikau and Boyd: Biff, housery not afraid to mix it and talent.
Murphy: Fiery gobe genius

Fantastic choice but I might be tempted to include Mike Nicolas.

is nobody going to pick Brian Bevan?

We need two forwards so Boyd and Roberts for class and biff. We need two centres so Davies and King. And we need an organiser/general so briers.

boyd jiffy roberts blake and dessie

Forget actually talent if you were to put together the hardest team of players in each position then how would you line up?
By hard I don't necessarily mean guys who like the biff but just genuine tough as teak guys.

Johnson
Drummond
Bateman
Ropati
King
Woods
Kelly
Boyd
Mann
Morley
Jackson
Eccles
Rathbone
Subs:
Jackson
Tamati
Cullen
Roberts

Rogues once said Bevan wasn't that good a "rugby player" so maybe that's why....and I've heard his defence was a bit ropey too

but going off players I saw
Leadership... Mike Gregory
Grunt in the Forwards... Les Boyd
Pace.. ...Des Drummond
A midfield general .....Alan Langer
And that bit of star quality..... Jonathan Davies.

in todays game
Leadership Cameron Smith
Grunt in the forwards Paul Gallen
Pace.....Brett Morris
A midfield General Cooper Cronk
that bit of Star Quality Ben Barba........... Or Inglis Slater Thurston Hayne....and on and on....!!!!

get it sorted Moran.........

Brian Bevan wasn't much of a rugby player 796 times.

all tries though, he'd be a one trick pony on the pie forum

Jesus Christ!
We would get through 80 mins without some biff with that team.
I like it.

Named Jackson twice inadvertently. Swap one Jacko for Westwood.

No...stick with the 2 jackos. I would.

Just admit that you meant the jackson brothers from the late 80s

Andy Gregory
Paul Sculthorpe
Lestyn Harris
Davies
Morley

Mike Greg, Lee Briers, Jonathan Davies, Adrian Morley and Mike Monaghan of the 2011 vintage.

He's no Wes Davies' grandad

I don't think that's what I said was it!!

Rogues wants Chris Bridge, circa 2012 v Huddersfield (a)

........still waiting.....

Well if it wasn't that it was probably some poop like "Bevan never even played for your academy and if he'd of been at Wigan......." I couldn't be bothered reading what he actually did say but going off his posts that's all he bangs on about


In the words of Wane "Rogues is far too confident for my liking. It's all been logged" or something similar

Doesn't anybody think Andrew Johns would improve you?
