Only change to my team after this season is monaghan starting in place of the legend Duane Mann. No way am i putting a fullback who cannot tackle one on one (sorry Brett, but it's true) in ahead of Johnson. Anybody who saw Mark Roberts play and hasn't put him in should find another sport to watch.

This is my team, playing to todays rules. Anyone who saw Bobby Fulton play simply couldnt leave him out of the side. I never saw B Bevan play hence Ive not included him in my selection If the team was intended to play in the 1960-70s then Ashcroft would be the hooker and the 2nd row would be Nicholas and Wanbon.

This thread to me, is like lusting over the girl you've had the hots for, for years, but done nothing about it, and then regrets....


I'd pretty much go along with Moe's and Biscuits' choices, given as I'm of a similar vintage.

Of the Prem 86 pack, I can happily demote Sanderson (he was workmanlike...and you need them)

Going forward a couple of years, Davidson was great, but not THAT awesome, as a lot give him credit.

I'm at a loss to pick 2 wingers from Drummond, Bevan (J) and Hicks...there's 3 of my all time favs (when I was 40, my missus got me a birthday cake with Dessie scoring a try, on the top of it)

I'm in TOTAL agreement with Moe, on the Roberts issue. Those of you under early 30's, never got to see a FANTASTIC player. An example of how a second rower should follow his scrum-half around the field

With this type of exercise its always difficult to leave out world class talent at the expense of players who were more than just great players to Warrington.

So what might be an interesting twist is you can only pick players who played for more than 5 seasons...so no 2 season or even 3 match wonders....players who really committed to Warrington for a very good part of their playing career...if not all of their playing career.

again only using players I have seen

A 5 season rule is difficult because there aren't that many players that play 5 seasons. Mine would change to

1. Brent Grose
2. Des Drummond
3. Toa Kohe-Love
4. Allan Bateman
5. Chris Riley
6. Kevin Ellis
7. Lee Briers
8. Adrian Morley
9. Jon Clarke
10. Paul Wood
11. Paul Cullen
12. Ben Westwood
13. Mike Gregory (c)

14. Chris Bridge
15. Ben Harrison

Shelford is a good shout...but how many seasons did he do?

ABW.:



1991-1997, I was surprised when I saw he'd been with us that long.

Yes because Shelford was good in his first three seasons, outstanding in his fourth when we nearly won the league, and for the next four years he was less and less effective, so got forgotten about.

Similar pattern to Brent Grose.

Quote: Builth Wells Wire "I thought Brent Grose played 4 seasons at Warrington & not 5.'"


Think Brent played the last season at Wilderspool plus 4 at the HJ (04,05,06 and 07) leaving along with Fa'fili and Leikvoll.

If we're attaching a five season rule I'd go for -
1 Derek Whitehead
2 Dessie Drummond
3 Allan Bateman
4 John Bevan
5 Mark Forster
6 Lee Briers
7 Parry Gordon
8 Adrian Morley
9 Duane Mann
10 Bob Jackson
11 Tommy Martyn
12 Mark Roberts
13 Mike Gregory

14 Ken Kelly
15 Steve Hesford
16 Mike Nicholas
17 Ben Westwood

Considered but couldn't include Cull, Sandy, Paul Wood, Chris Bridge, Jon Clarke, Martin Gleeson, Bobby Wanbon, Chissy, Chris Rudd and Gary Chambers

Kings cat

Ronnie Duanne should be at left centre with John Bevan on the wing instead of Forster, suprised you left Kelly Shelford out, i would have included Bob Eccles.

Nice memory recall, Rob. Can you imagine what Ronnie would have been like in today's game, with 5 days of training, and on good pitches, instead of a couple of short training sessions a week, and playing on mud heaps......and playing a lot fewer games...he'd tear it up.
With some of the great centres we've had over the years, (sadly) players like Ronnie, get forgotten.
