So no rugby for a while





I got to thinking about players i have seen in the blue and white. I thought it might be interesting to make three teams, one from each "era".

Pre Super League, Super League and post Super League.



To start things off I have selected this team from our latest era. I will pick four subs for each team as it gives me more names of my favourite players.



Other two to follow.



What would your team be from 2004 on? My selection.



Royston, Worrincy, Branigan, Gibson, Haley, Holroyd, Black, Kopczak, Penky, Calahane, Larder, Manning, Flanagan. Subs, Beswick, Bloem, Wrench, B Johnston. Coach : Marshall.



Some players played across two era. I included two loan players in this side who made a huge impression on me in their short stay and who went onto great things in other teams.

I have only selected a player in one era though several played across the divides.

No disrespect intended.

Well how boring is trawling through old memories or old programmes to dig up players from the past,obviously Hudd Shay thinks it's OK, so it must be interesting,I wouldn't like to be locked in a room with him and Littlerich,what gems of humour they would dispense.
