Ive highlighted who i agree and disagree with.
Notable missing
Alan Prescott - one of the greatest RL players of all time. Prescott is a legend in the UK and Australia. This man won the ashes while playing with a broken arm, while captaining GB. He captained the Saints team that won its first challenge cup winning the lance todd in the process. The guy is a RL immortal, to not have him in is a disgrace.
He was a brilliant ball playing forward, who had also been a schoolboy sprint champion. Over 400 appearances for Saints. 31 GB appearances, (most be a Saints player).
Herman the German - Founder of Saints. Without him it would never have began.
George Nicholls- just read Dave Dooleys biograpphy
www.saints.org.uk/saints.org.uk/ ... page_id=10
Cliff Watson - scourge of the aussies. He absolutely battered them.
29 gb caps. The best ever RU to RL forward convert.

| Eamonn, I think is a vital inclusion. Without his help, we would not have such a prosperous future to look forward to.

I added Prescott already and Nicholls/Rhodes will most likely make it at the behest of cooper.
I'm pretty sure no photographs of Douglas Herman exist and there is debate that he was actually French.

| I also think that the flag is too heavily weighted in favour of players since the 1980's with little to show for Pre ww2.
Granted Saints had little success prior to ww2 however we still had a few great players eg Jack Arkwright, Alf Ellaby, les Fairclough,William Briers
The legendary 1960's sides also seem under represented. Remember these were the best players in the world, not merely good club players as the current generation are.
This is a list of top 10 appearances at Saints
Kel Coslett
William Briers
Billy Benyon
Eric Chisnall
Dougie Greenall
les Jones
George Lewis
John Mantle
Keiron Cunningham
Tom Van Vollenhoven
All these should be on the list

| If Cooper is to be replaced I would vote for Rhodes to replace him. I would also suggest that Haggerty is removed and repalced with George Nicholls. I loved watching Roy play but I think we tend to look back with rose-tinted specs a bit and we shouldn't forget his brainfarts. Whole hearted, yes, but not a 'Great' for my money.

agree, we may as well stick Vila Matautia on there if we are putting Roy on.

That isn't a fair comparison.

I said, if you can find one we can make artistic, we'll look at it. If it is already hosted online, just copy the image location, and then paste the image location here.

Les Jones might have made a lot of appearances but he wasn't a legend for me.
