Deary me. Leaving aside the flexibility of the 50 years, Robinson v Offiah is not close! Offiah was so far superior there is no debate. Look at the all-time scoring charts, if you want a clue. Ashton and Fox are musts in the centres. Hanley would have to be put in but elsewhere in the line-up. I can't be bothered with the forwards other than to say James Roby!!!

I thought that I might get hammered for Roby. I admit that was a blunder, because Kieron Cunningham was obviously better. I had just forgotten him. Shame on me.
I will revise the team based on readers reasonable criticism as soon as I get back to my desktop.

Apart from all the rest of your guff - omitting Ashton & Fox FFS - you can forget either of those SL era hookers. Stevo destroys the pair of them and so does John Gray and Flash Flanagan. |

Paul Charlton is the greatest full back GB has produced. A measure of how good he was is that when the "immortal" Graeme Langlands retired St George's preferred choice to replace him was Charlton, but he rejected the offer to go down under.

No PopTart! Jean has spoken.
How he can be bothered keeping up this charade makes me wonder if he’s all there.

He's gets far too many bites to stop. When will people learn? |

I am sorry but you are wrong. This is a good learning experience for me and the other readers.
I made a bad call putting James Roby ahead of his predecessor Kieron Cunningham. I may have made a time period blunder in naming Karalius. I probably made a mistake in choosing Jason Robinson ahead of Martin Offiah. I am going to research the reviews of Paul Charlton. So I have learned something from the serious criticisms. But I think some of the younger readers will have learned something by being exposed to the historical names that they may not have heard of. |

I can only speak about the last 30 years ......... and of the seven players you've included from that period, I'd leave out at least 3 (Davies, Roby and Burgess) out of the starting XIII
Lydon
Robinson, Schofield, Newlove, Offiah
Myler, Gregory
Hanley
Sculthorpe, Goodway
Ward, Cunningham, Graham
subs: Crooks, Peacock, Farrell, Edwards
