Moving onto the Centrepositions.

Again, some really classy centres have played over the last few years... as well as some notso classy ones too.

Two positions vacant so you have three votes. Top two into the team with runner up being placed in the subs poll later on.

Shontayne Hape has to be in there fantastic probably the best during the super league era so far.

Nathan Mcavoy my other choice just for that try against the rhinos in 2000 never forget that moment a014.gif

Went for Peacock and Shonny, with Bradley 3rd. I'd have Bradley on the bench, covers plenty of positions and a real leader of men.

He wasn't as flash as the other two (or probably not quite as good a centre), but by god, he was effective.

Champaign Shontayne - Class act, we missed him so badly until keith arrived

Scott Naylor - great attacking and defensive centre, while not being too good like the others

3rd was toss up between 2 very good defensive centres, Peacock and Harris but Peacock gets my vote

Shontayne's a shoe-in for this isn't he?

I went for Danny Peacock for my second choice, although I was tempted by Naylor for his defence and all-round aggression. I'd also suggest that, should he stick around another couple of years, Keith Lulia would be definitely up there.

And Ryan Atkins? Did he ever actually play in our SL team?

Hape and Naylor take the top 2 spots for me. Always really enjoyed watching Lee Gilmour when he played with us so he gets my third vote.

Looking back over that list it really hits home how many top quality centres we had at the club during our 'glory years'. Peacock, Bradley, Loughlin, Leon, Costin, Mackay, Johnson & Ben Harris.

Hape and Lulia for me. Can you imagine as an opposition coach where you would hide your defensive weak link against them?

If Keith stays, he's going to be every bit the legend that Shontayne is.

Hape in his prime was excellent. Great hands, superb partnership with Les. Defence was rock solid.

As for his partner there's a few decent players to choose from, Naylor was superb in defence and underrated in attack. Pryce's best position was centre IMO. He had flair, good hands, pace and was a good defender.

Going back a bit further Peacock was a handful. He hit a gap like nobody I ever saw before or since. Bradley also deserves a mention for being hated by just about everyone in SL but he did the job.
