Don't die with the music in you!:26094.jpg



If you are asking for consistency, Longy is your man, if you wanted a blinding short flash of superb team carrying scrum half play then Goulding would be your choice.

We have been spoiled with having these two from the start of Super League, the next in the 7 shirt has a huge gap to fill eventually.

How many other teams would love to have had the choice of these two [iat their best.[/i

Can I ask why only my good self has picked Alan Hunte on the wing.

We are talking a player with 14 GB caps who played in a world cup final and was regarded as a world class winger.

Compared to Albert who was merely a straight line runner and Sullivan who was exquisite when put into space, but was a liability in defence, and prone to brain farts of the Meli nature.

Ahem, one of two people icon_wink.gif

Sullivans defense was woeful at times, but I always remember him chasing back and knocking the ball out of a Warrington hand when he was certain to score. It was the last game of the 96 season and we needed the win for the trophy, can't for the life me remember who the Wire player was.

Ah the days when finishing top actually mattered....

Hunte was an outstanding winger. Fast. Athletic. Good hands. Would go in where it hurt.

His reputation was right up with the best until coaches starting moving him to centre and full back, where he struggled with the complexities of the positions.

Hunte was only ever a finisher. And a great one at that.

To be honest I thought he played his best Rugby at Centre when he came back from injury after being over 12 months out of the game.

He did play well at centre. In attack.

Defensively he was less successful.

Yeah, Scully wrote in his book that Murphy absolutely murdered Henare for it in the changing rooms icon_lol.gif
