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.

I just feel that Cashemere is that good. I only saw the 2nd half of last season due to my exploits in Aus taking up the 1st half, but in that 2nd half I couldn't remember a more dominant Salford prop in the top flight.

Good points re Highton. Still feel that Rutcho had a greater affect on the blokes around him which for me is a crucial aspect of being a prop. When Rutcho played, Salford seemed to. Never really thought the same of Highton. Maybe the fact he didn't have a big blonde mop of hair forced him under the radar

My Choice for Pack of the Decade.

8 - Neil Baynes
9 - Malcolm Alker
10 - Sean Rutgerson
11 - Andy Coley
12 - Luke Adamson
13 - Darren Brown

My Holby City Pack of the Decade
8 - Stephen Nash
9 - David Berthezene
10 - Gareth Haggerty
11 - Mark Edmundson
12 - Warren Jowitt
13 - Tim Jonkers

"what were they Thinking Signing ..." Pack of the Decade
8 - Mark Corvo
9 - David Highton
10 - Damien Driscoll
11 - Greg Ebrill
12 - Neil Lowe
13 - Matthew Leigh

Harsh when you could have put Borgese there.

Beat me to it, I thought Dave Highton was OK for us.

Totally disagree with that. I thought he was quality. Faster around the ruck then Alker and with better distribution.

In NL1 in 2003 i always thought we looked better when he came of the bench and Alker moved to 2nd row.

My pack would be:

8: Coley
9: Alker
10: Rutgerson
11: Adamson
12: Brown
13: Finnagen (2006)

old age mate....old age
It must have been that swine flu jab that went to your head.
Or is it that barrell of whisky you must have drunk over xmas.

The reason i put cashmere in the team of the decade was he is heads and shoulders (apart from rucho and korki) above anything ive seen in a salford shirt, he has taken the pack to another level imo and hopefully other members of that pack who blow hot and cold through every season they have wore the red shirt will finally put there yo-yo form to bed

No. Borgese was signed principally as a Stand-off Half , not a hooker , but was somewhat eclipsed by the emergence of Myler/Ratchford + Paul. and the ever presence of Alker. Borgese was a gamble " apparently the you-tube video was good
David Highton, should have been a class act had he not p1ssed his career up the wall with drugs ..

Rutgerson yes - absolutely agree - gutted when he hung up his boots - but Korki????

Lots of buff & bluster, but IMHO one who flattered to decieve - dropped the ball far too much and though he "looked" impressive how many tackles did he actually break and how many yards actually made?
