Tony Myler at stand off?

Anyone who picks someone other than Roger Millward at no 6 obviously never saw him play. I did.

I also saw Brian McTigue, who was the most creative and clever prop forward ever seen.

Seeing as you've made space for a couple of might-have-beens, I think you could consider Goulding a challenger to Gregory. For two-and-a-half seasons at Saints he was magisterial, and it's easy to forget he was still in his early twenties at the time. Pity he chucked it all away; a real wasted career, that one.

If you saw McTigue then why would you need to 'research' Paul Charlton and why would you omit Ashton and Fox as centres ?

Is the correct answer.

Far and away our greatest full-back of the past 50 years.

A scandal that he was overlooked whilst at Workington - missing out on the 1966 and 1970 Lions tours but going in 1974. He almost immediately made the test team following a big-money move to glamour club Salford and starred in the '72 World Cup triumph.

Because I was a very young lad at the time, and I did not remember the names of all the English players I was watching. However what struck me was how clever the English forwards were, how they often bamboozled the unsopsticated Australian forwards with reverse passes and flick passes, and the name that they always mentioned in the newspapers and on TV in this regard was Brian McTigue. On the other hand I knew that the Australian outside backs were much more talented than their Englsh opponents. Reginald Gasnier and Graeme Langlands were the standouts, followed by Kenneth Irvine. The English centres Neil Fox and Eric Ashton seemed so mediocre by comparison.
