I think that you would be in a minority on that choice -- even discounting Jimmy Lowes' propensity for a few "afters" every other week.

Interesting that 19 of the top players of SL played in Lancashire, 12 in Yorkshire, and 2 in London.

If we do this again in ten years I am sure that the number of London stars will have increased greatly, thanks to the development policy of the RFL in the south of England. As will the number of French stars, thanks to the inevitable growth of French junior development under the auspices of Les Catalans and Toulouse Super League clubs.

Quote: Dettoriman "Was Jason Smith ever really that good ? Seemed to spend a lot of time on the sidelines from what i remember - And was good but not the top player when on the field

Biased view would be Adrian Vowles at 13, Former man of steel after all'"


Jason Smith was awesome when he played and carried a very average Hull side so much, I would say yes, Overall Vowles probabally had a bigger impact the Jason Smith did, but if its based on talent and ability alone id go with Smith.

Quote: Alice's Phallus "In the light of the criticisms I have received on this thread, I have made some modifications to my selections, notably inserting Richard Swain and Darren Albert in place of Daniel Buderus and Scott Donald, and noting the correct club affiliations of David Fairleigh and Terence O'Connor.

Because Henry Paul was at his career peak in Super League, and Stacey Jones wasn't, I regard the performances of Henry Paul in Super League as superior to those of Stacey Jones. Overall in an evaluation of each person's life career, Stacey may well come in ahead of Henry.

Steve Renouf was not at his career peak in Super League, but still was better than his main rival for the position, Matt Gidley, in my opinion.

Now here is the revised teamsIMPORTS

Brent Webb (Leeds)

Leslie Vainikolo (Bradford)
Jamie Lyon (St Helens)

Still no Shaun Edwards. You have to be joking or sadly mistaken.

Interesting, all this.

For most of the SL years, supporters of other clubs played hell about the number of overseas players in Bradford colours. And that over the period when Bradford and Saints were the two pre-eminent teams in the competition.

So where are all the Bradford players in the list then?

How come Bulls did so well for so many years?
