13. The one and only SIR CHRIS CHARLES.

Rutgerson - Just a quality prop that worked his *rse off
Alker (Malcolm

) - Legend.

Still think at his peak he should have made a GB squad.
Cashmere - Big mo fo and a great off loader. Hopefully more to come from the big man.
Coley - For 5 seasons outstanding. Pace to burn for a prop/2nd rower. The least said about his last season the better,


Adamson - Have seen enough in the last 3 years to know he is the real deal. If he continues his form of last year he'll be playing for England by the end of the year (better than Ben "Buzz Lightyear" Westwood by a country mile). Potentially a Salford "great" IMO.


Finnigan (1st season) - Would complement the graft and tackiling in the pack with his running ability. Ditto Coley regarding his last season though.

Reckon there's a nice mix of steel & style in that pack. A couple that narrowly missed out were Gower (on potential because he didn't play half as much as he should and I wish he'd stayed) and Sibbit (who IMO was, on his day, one of the best 2nd rowers in the league).

BTW, WTF were Matthew Leigh & James Smith???

James Smith was the Aussie loose forward (that Carolyn Derbshire had a bit of a soft spot for IIRC?!) who played for us for a year in the early part of the decade.

Seem to remember him being a bit of a character who fancied himself as a bit of a 'performer' on stage?

Mark Lee

never saw that first glance at the list


would be in my all time Salford 13 in [uany[/u position (ok, apart from winger

)
absolute pure class, and would love to see him back one day in a coaching capacity of some sort

therefore......

Coley
Alker
Cashmere
Rutgerson
Adamson
Lee

...aaahhh but he only stared 4 games and was a sub in 3 in the "Naughties" matey and didn't score a point.

I will add however that I was a massive fan of Mark!

Almost my friend, he was a second rower. He was only here a year (2000).

*[size=85Sorry but you know what I'm like![/size

Quite chuffed with my self, considering how bad my memory is normally.

Can even picture him (always thought he looked more like a Union player the League).

Any stats on Matthew Leigh - I have absolutely no recollection of him at all???

And so you should as I doubt many recall him at all

. I thought he was a decent player.

Yes but this is a bit tougher, he was a loose forward (IIRC) who left us and joined Barrow.


Now for some (More) stats, he started once and was sub 7 times in 2000 (Again oddly enough

)

rucho
Alker
Cashmere
Coley
Brown
Charles

A mixture of pace, power, magic hands and hard graft

I'd agree that Baynes is a fan favorite but still can't understand why a player thats played 1 season (Cashmere) can be in the team of the decade?

As for Highton compare his 2006 with Rutgersons 2005 stats (because they both played 25 games) and you will struggle to tell them apart (Highton broke 6 tackles and made 16 tackles more but Rutgerson made 100 more yards), so as Highton played nearly the entire decade i believe he should be first choice for prop of the decade on merit and no other reason.
