Jeez that is hard. How do I fit Wally and Toppo in the same team.
Well that's my work sorted for the afternoon

Will be back in an hour when I've decided.

I found it really difficult leaving Ray Price out, but hey, thats what the top coaches have to do, and its a good problem to have!

This was very difficult. I worked on the principle of picking people who have entertained me the most rather than the best player in each position (which is hard to decide across eras)

5. Jason Demetriou

A lot of great hookers missed out so that I could get Belly in the team.
Honourable mention to would have to go to Garen Casey who probably went a long way to taking us into Super League but didn’t go to the Big Show with us so gave the other centres the nod.
I saw Neil Fox play but was too young while at Wakefield to say he entertained me, though he would fit that bill when I saw him play later for other clubs.

I wouldn’t really play the bench if it was a real game but they all deserved a place in the 13.

John Kear would coach this side.

I would be the coach, and John Kear my assistant!

We've certainly had some quality players over the years. Some fantastic half backs and back row forwards.

come on Ted

For me the best Full back at Wakey

Some good teams posted already by the 'young uns' on here.

However if they had been lucky enough to see the likes of Neil Fox in his prime it would have taken their views on what is a good player to another level.

it wasn't until I viewed a dvd on the wigan v wakefield cup final did I know how good Harold Poynton stand off and Mal Sampson who was at prop one of the unsung heros,
the contest in the scrum was a continuous grind and always seemed to have the upper hand against his opposite player not only that he was always available for the drives and managed to slip through to score (first prop to score at Wembley so I'm lead to believe) in them days there wasn't the comfort zone of coming off for a brief spell
I still see him walking his labrador at the stanley ground with two ski sticks to help keep going due to his health, he will always find to to chat to the kids and is proud to show them his winning medal,

Poynton seemed to open up the defense so easily like a knife through butter

Harold Poynton and Toppo were classic stand offs. Wally Lewis, Henry Paul etc, were just as great but they played with a different style in a different era. However Poynton had the edge on all the others I have mentioned in defence.

If you ask uncle ted who is favourite all time player at Trinity was he'll tell you Harold Poynton.
