Shucks........maybe I should have read the opening post properly.

Depends on the criteria, which is never clarified on these things.(which always narks me when i see jamie lyon mentioned in all time SL list)

If tenure isn't a weighted value, you could argue he had 2 very very good seasons with us, good defender, good try scorer. Saved the 2019 challenge cup final with THAT tackle.


I would argue the same with gillies, now i'm not advocating for him to be in a team of all time, but its harsh to include him with some crap, as he was very good, and responsible for scott wilson scoring a hat full of tries, Kohe-love finishing (joint?) top of the try scoring charts, and i think whoever played right ring(roach for the start of the season) scored a hat full of tries also.

edit, just looking back, i'd certainly have goodwin in at centre over monaghan, and, its surprised me to see Domic included in your list of honourable mentions who'd wager was no better or worse than goodwin was during his time here.

I'd also have leikvoll in the honourable mentions list, big man, made his tackles, decent offload game, always found the floor for quick ptb's, and got a few years out of him. you put him in this team, it would make all the difference in the world.

Mamo should be in the honourable mentions list purely for his post match interviews.

Yeah fair comments.

Id have matt king at centre over monaghan.

The honourable mentions was quite subjective based on my emotions around the player and the circumstances they joined. The list of those that don't make the "best team" does include some decent players and some not so. I never used the word crap though.

No right or wrong answers

Johns was crap in 2 of the 3 games he played for us.

Perhaps. The question is ambiguous as obviously he is a hall of fame player but not necessarily for Warrington.

I suppose

"Best Southern Hemisphere players for Warrington" vs "Best Southern Hemisphere players who also played for Warrington".

i.e Inglis and Johns would be in the latter but not the former.

i wouldn't go as simple as that, but the pack definitely got steam rollered against hull in the play off game, they rushed westwood back and he was clearly not fully fit/healed in placed of the ineffective paul noone.

Roby Muller...one for the older ones and mad dog don duffy sure he was an Aussie and Paul younanne

I was a big fan of Robbie, I also remember his selfless pass to put Bob Eccles on for his record try with the line beckoning for him.
He gets 13 for that alone.

I'd go with Kelly Shelford at loose forward. He was some player. Also honourable mentions for fellow Kiwis Gary 'Ming' Mercer, David Solomona, Nigel Vagana, Richard Henare and 'Smokin' Joe Ropati.
