That was a pretty impressive lineup. Its is reflected in the actual performances of the 2000 onwards teams.



It would be up there with Wigan, Bradford, and Hull FC (if the latter could have found a decent coach).



I would love to see it go head to head with my best Catalans and London teams.

There is always a decision to make in these threads between picking the most talented players or picking the ones that gave the best service. I have tried to strike a happy medium. The backs just about pick themselves with Tom Briscoe the only one unlucky to miss out. The forwards are a bit tougher.

I've kept it to players who played at least a couple of seasons, ruling out most of the current squad, and many of Sandercock's signings. Made an exception for Weyman, as he was very good and our turnover of props has been phenomenal.



Lot of respect for the contribution Mark O'Neill made in 2007, but injury meant he only played in about half a dozen wins iirc. Can't see why he'd be in ahead of Chester or a few others tbh. Also Fitzhenry did okay, but lost his place to Colbon on the wing and played out his second season as utility, again iirc.

Tomkins instead of Lam - Massive pick but I HAD to get Tomkins in the side and with the experienced head in Barrett alongside him, I regrettably left Adrian Lam out



Liam Farrell - This should of been Hock but he's been a huge waste in what should of been a stellar career. Joel as well could be in there but went for Liam

Carmont- Went for George instead of the brilliant Connolly if only because I thought Connolly was miles better in the 90's - still not sure on this though



Struggled big time with props.

I know this threads all about opinions but i can remember Scott Quinnell being unstoppable in his last season for Wigan, Ian Lucas was very much underated too. Can't believe Jason Robinson isn't on the list sorry.="
