Senior. So consistent, not only a threat himself but every winger who played outside him looked like a star.

Based on longevity and consistency, in my time I don't think you can look any further than Senior. I sometimes think the role he played is under estimated. A fantastic servant to our club.

But, if we're playing dream team stuff, I'd go for Craig Innes and Toni Carroll. They were exactly what overseas signings should be all about..... Superstars!

I'd also give an honourable mention to Brad Godden - he was superb under Murray.

Put 2 of any of those 4 into any current superleague team and it instantly makes them a top 4 team.

The sad thing is, Watkins has all the physical attributes and skill to be as good as those 4 (he's certainly got more physical attributes than Godden had), he just doesn't seem to have the ticker or desire to stamp his authority on them game. He's too nice... if he had a bit of arrogance and a bit of c*nt in him, he'd be 10x the player he is.

Can't argue with that. If Cronk pushed Senior like he pushed Watkins in the four nations they'd still be picking pieces of him out of the turf.

Absolutely, and whilst you can argue it's one of the things that defines Watkins as a thorough good bloke and much more decent than big Keith off the field,. it is unfortunately a fundemental flaw when it comes to being the best of the best on a rugby league field.

Thurston is seen as being this god like figure who can do no wrong, a perfect idol for the kids, but he's still got a bit of niggle and the sh*ts about him when it comes to competing and getting one over the opposition.

Innes looked the part but rarely delivered IMO. Iro was a great player but not for Leeds.

Schofield at centre was excellent. I'd put Senior with him if I had to pick two.

Leeds Rhinos? 8 for you, Leeds Rhinos! You go, Leeds Rhinos. And none for Castleford Tigers. Bye!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1140.jpg



In my time watching Leeds; Senior, Godden, Schofield. If we use him better, Watkins is up there too. Sadly, the current excellent backline is wasted.
