Quote: Remarkable_Rhinos "I feel a bit sorry for Wellens thinking the only reason he doesn't make my squad is because of Radlinski, so I might put him down as the Coach. Then at least he doesn't feel left out.
There's your answer (using the Aussie methodoligy) there is room for both Wellens and Radlinski in the starting line-up, especially if you're not overly impressed with the selection options on the wing.

Didn't a GB International coach (possibly David Waite around 2001) play one of them on the wing to utilise them both anyway, therefore validifying that selection option?

If you say so!? Can't remember that personally but it's as good a reason as any.

Using that methodology you could also play Sinfield at 6, moving Scully to 13, Peacock to 12 and putting Graham in the pack from the bench.

It's all utter bo[ill[/iocks if you ask me but I suppose they've fill the space around the adverts on the website with something s it may as well be this "Team of the Decade". (Even though they haven't used a decade, and not really picked a proper team). So really the headline should read... "of the" but then that probably wouldn't get as many clicks. Best leave it how they've done it really.

Kear definitely played Wello wing in the 2000 world cup - think he played there in that awesome performance in the semi against the Kiwis.

Richards has been here 5 years having made his Wigan debut in Catalans' first-ever game in 2006.

He'd take one of my wing spots.

Him

Like this thread!!

Been some great players in Super League!!

I'd go with:

Radlinski - Lacked Wellens' footwork, but vastly superior in defence.

Carney - Was freakishly strong, with great footwork and turn of pace.
Lyon - Even the most anti-saints of us can't argue about how good he was.
Senior - Pains me to say it, but he's been consistantly better than nearly anyother centre for over a decade.
Can't decide between the pace of Albert or the power of Vainikolo.

In the halfbacks, I thought about McGuire, but I don't feel him and Long gel particularly well. In my opinion, You can't leave Long out, and he needs an organiser so:

Barrett - he was a class above, just a shame Wigan didn't have a pack to match.
Long - Say no more.

O'Connor - Never missed a tackle, always made yards and went toe-to-toe with Gordon Talas. Plus, he started at Salford.
Cunningham - Simply, Nailed On!!
Mozza - Smash the opposition up early.
Joynt/Ellis - Struggling to decide.
Farrell - The best player of his generation.
Scullthorpe - Second only to Farrell

Bench:

Barrie McDermott - Can't get over how he's been ignored by the Leeds fans.
Peacock - Has taken it to everyone for more than a few years.
Kevin Sinfield - Great player, and very versatile. Unfortunately for Sini, Scully and Faz were superior.
Joynt/Ellis.

Obviously, I've missed out Graham, but, no matter how many minutes Graham plays I just feel the other props add more impact. Also, missed out Fielden and can't work out how to fit him in.

You obviously see it differently, but if I'm picking a hypothetical dream team then I'm not particularly concerned who will gel with who, given that they'll never take to the field together, more the individual merits of each player. So I'd have to say McGuire personally, for his contribution to SL over the last 7-8 years, rather than the 2 decent seasons we got from Barrett.

Mine would be

Wellens
Richards
Hape
Senior
Vainikolo

McGuire
Long

Peacock
Cunningham
Morley
Ellis
Farrell
Sinfield

Pryce
Graham
Fielden
Sculthorpe

Contentous points would be Wellens over Radlinksi, I think that although Radlinski at his peak was better, the length of time Wellens has been playing at such a consistently high level wins it for me. Radlinski could hardly get off the treatment table for about 2 years before he retired.

Hape over Lyon, again tough as they were both top centres, but Hape again wins it for doing it for longer for Bulls, than the 2 years Lyon did it for

There's been a lot of quality props in super league over the last ten years:

Fielden
Coley, slight bias there
Craig Smith
Was it Dave Fairleigh?
Paul Anderson
Joe Vangana
Feka, although his game time is very limited

Macca had slightly better footwork, was more explosive and took it to Aussies a bit more. That is just my opinion!!
