Quote the flying biscuit="the flying biscuit"thats about right that Rob...
However Shelford was lazy and a touch overweight but an absolute class player..but i think i'd have Mike Greg in at 13.
and I'd have John Bevan in their somewhere probably replacing bateman on the bench...
for those that saw Roberts play just imagine him Running on to some of Langers disguised passes.'"
I agree about Kelly Shelford, if he had worked on his fitness more he could have been anything he wanted to be in the game. With ball in hand he oozed class, i picked Shelford ahead of Mike Gregory because i think he was more creative with ball in hand. Mike Gregory was the ultimate leader and a total work horse, he lead by example.
Its just that ive always been a fan of the creative type players in the pivots which is why i was a big fan of the likes Hanley, Tony Myler, John Woods, Brad Fittler, Andrew Johns and now Michael Monaghan just to name a few.
Every RL fan will appreciate different styles of teams and players which is why you will always get a different all time greatest teams from fans, you would love to include the likes of Bob Jackson, John Bevan, Mark Forster, Alex Murphy, Tommy Martyn Snr, Jim Challinor, Derek Whitehead, Steve Hesford, Parry Gordon, Bob Eccles and so on but you can`t include them all.
Mark Roberts if it hadn`t of been for injury would have been the modern day Lee Gimore but a lot better, he had more power, was probably quicker and didn`t take a step backwards. He could also defend as well, and yeh it would have been frightening if he had been in the same team as Alfie.
