Forgot about Brooker. Still recall that tackle he did on Broadbent and carried him into their in goal! Absolutely superb

always worried me that jamie r, nice bloke etc etc, is the best stand off we had in a whole decade, sort of says it all really!

Here we go again with another thread that sees JD included in various line ups because he's been a great club man rather than being the best in the position he's chosen for!!!

Ellis & Domic would definitely take the centre spots with Ollie Elima in for JD, but moving to one of the second row with Poching moving to LF.

Not sure about JR at 6 or Drew at hooker. I'd be tempted to pick Newton at 9 (he does just sneak in with a noughties appearance - if qualification is based on making an SL appearance then I'd go for David March) and have BJ in for Rooney - although I'd have him at 7 and DB at 6.

Too true! I'd picked all my team and still had the No. 6 empty. He kind of got it by default

Elima and Newton? Surely we should be picking on performance for Wakey not for others?

brain has gone!

who were the other trinity stand offs in the naughties??

Agreed, Elima has been superb for Catalan but as i recall it for Wakefield was never that special barring a couple of big hits or the odd game. I use to recall that at times he'd lose it and give several penalties away.

Newton surely cannot qualify after a meaningless friendly.

Ellis in 2004 as Rooney was injured.

Pearson did a job for a season didn't he? Possibly Tony Kemp too

Do forgive me for not putting what you wanted me to put, In the time we have been in SL there is no playere i would rather have coming off the bench except maybe Poching but as he made it into my first 13 JD gets on the bench purely for the influence he has on the team, show me where in the rules it says that everyone has to be played in their best position, and whilst you look for those rules find me the one that says you are god and everyone should agree with you.

Jerk.

Jd was rated in the top two centres in super league in 07 an top linebreaker in the league, and was a stand out in 04 from centre so i think its understandble he is pick in the centres.

1. Holland
2. Tadulala
3. JD
4. Domic
5. Sovatabua
6. Rooney
7. Brough
8. Korkidas
9. D. March
10. Watene
11. Ellis
12. Solomona
13. Poching

Subs
Fox
Blaymire
Moore
Brooker

Think martyn holland deserves a mention - one of the safest pairs of hands in the league up until shortly before his departure. Brooker was good was well, but can't dislodge JD and Domic.

Quality player but he didn't play in the decade just gone.

All I'm saying is that many people seem to think that JD is close to God like and that they should give some thought to who else has played in the same positions. It's far easier to think of who's playing for us now than think back over 10 years of players who have left us. (EDIT - just realised I'd forgotten about Big Dunc McGillivray who would definitely have a place in the 17)

There are no rules to say someone has to be played in their best position, but if your selecting the best team it does sort of make sense to consider players in their best positions.

Don't get me wrong - JD is a good player and would definitely be someone I would want in my squad, but unfortunately he wouldn't get into my top 17 for the decade.

Not all in this team the best technically, more of a personal favourite team.

He played until 2003. Incidentally he gave the best full back performance I've ever seen away at Huddersfield in 2001.

and he never moved out of the way

1. Halpenny

Some very close calls but kept it varied across the decade!!!!
