Quote: Old Feller "No, he selected John Mantle and George Nicholls. Mantle just ahead of Watson & Ward due to his versatility, playing every pack position except hooker.
Nicholls on the basis that he toured 0n 5 occasions & was so dependable.
Of the current Saints players he picked Long & Cunningham.'"
Thanks for that. Interesting. Mantle and Nicholls had formidable reputations, but I am surprised Cliff did'nt get in, especially as he won so many caps for GB and generally battered any Australian who got in his way by all accounts. Still having, not having the pleasure of seeing them play in 'the flesh' it's hard for me to call.
Who were the current Leeds players who got in?
