not a bad team, nice to see Moz get on the bench, speaking of which i saw Gaz Ellis at the recently revamped BP garage in headingley earlier.
how would your SL team of the decade line up?

| Does SBW deserve his place in that team?

Don't think he played long enough to be considered imo.
I'd replace him with Thaiday tbh.

That line up has stacks of quality mate but when you just consider the last 10 years Harris would'nt get in imo and i'd have Radlinski at FB.
I'd also have Richards instead of Pryce on the wing.

I'd agree with you on Radlinski for FB. But I could undertand the poster getting Harris in, as you would have to say he should be in somewhere. But then you forget how time flies, and decade been after 2000, would probably mean you are right on discluding.
Interesting though on your SBW comment above saying not long enougth to warrant been picked, but you didn't pick up on the post about Burgess for Super League team. I would say Burgess surely didn't do enough in Super League to warrant been in the team of the decade. By contrast Ellis did though, and should have been in there.
The other poster is also right on Pryce also. Been one of the top players of the decade in the comp, so must be in somewhere.
Surely Fielden should be in any team though. He was clearly the best prop in Super League for a number of years before he went to Wigan.
It's quite a tough team to pick when you think about. Some very worthy players would miss out simply because of quality that a lot fans want to deride our competition for.

| It would very much depend on whether you mean consistent performances over the whole decade (much harder to come by!), or had a stand out season or two during the decade.
I'd have to go for...
Radlinski
Richards
Senior
Lyon
Vainikolo
Harris
McGuire
Morley
Cunningham
Fielden
Peacock
Farrell (vc)
Sinfield (c)
Bench-
Sculthorpe
Graham
Long
Joynt
Also in the squad but missing out on game day (No particular order);
Wellens
Barrett
Briers
Ellis
Burgess (Sam)
Gidley
Deacon

Good call re-Burgess and Ellis my point re-Pryce was more about the wing position and imo Richards wins hands down.

I disagree. Not in a massively bad way, and I do think it is a very valid point, I would just slightly disagree and I think that it's Ellis' success since leaving SL that clouds the memory of how good he was in SL. Don't get me wrong, he is at this present moment in time one of (if not THE) best Second Rower in the game. But I really don't think prior to him leaving Leeds he would've been mentioned in the same pack as Farrell, Sculthorpe, Peacock & Morley. NOW he would. Totally agree. But I just think it's only because you know that he's become the player he has.
Imagine when he left Leeds that he fell of the face of the planet, and nobody ever heard of him again, he would've been remembered as a good player, but not enough to make it into a "Team of the decade". Not at that point.

I dissagree, Ellis was a great player when he left Leeds. He might well have added something else to his game since been in the NRL, but he immediately got Player of the year in his first year there, which says a lot about how good he was when leaving Leeds.
For me, Ellis would be ahead of Furner in the squad when judging their respective Super League careers only.

Yeah fair point. I totally take that on board.
For me, if he were to make it onto the team sheet, it would have to be on the bench though. He wouldn't start over Peacock, Morley, Fielden (in prime), Sculthorpe, Farrell. IMO.
Again, he would NOW. But "Super League Ellis" wouldn't start over any of those. (IMO)

I think it highlights more that we have had real quality players in our comp, and sometimes that is not appreciated because of all the mythical @rse licking to the Aussie Comp.
One of the best players I have seen in the Super League era, and he only played for one season (I think) was David Fairleigh at Saints. I thought the guy was awsome, and on quality alone would always be one of my first choices for best teams. But again he only did one year.

| So the revised team
Radlinshki
Big lez
Jamie Lyon
Senior
Richards
Trent Barrett
Shaun long
Moz
Cunningham
Graham
Peacock
Andy farrel
Sculthorpe
McGuire
Pryce
Ellis
Fielden
Coach: Tony Smith
How's that?
I've taken on board what people have said but Im not sure about Richards(a few good seasons and one very good season) surly sl must have had a better winger than Richards? Carney? And it seems Fielden has garbage as much as he has been quality.

Like him or loathe him but I think Noble has to be the coach of the last decade in Super League. His record more than stacks up to any.
