In such depressing times for the club, it is worth pondering how many wonderful players have worn a London shirt during the Super League era. I have attempted to assemble the best 18 players who constitute a kind of Hall of Fame for the club.

I have put some players out of their best position (e.g. Richie Barnett as centre instead of full back) in order to accommodate all of the best players in a position that they could fill.

Here is my list. I hope you agree.


[iMark McLinden

Martin Offiah, Richie Barnett, Rob Purdham, Kieran Dixon,

Denis Moran,
Craig Gower

Scott Hill,
Jim Dymock, Lee Hopkins
Steele Retchless, Jason Hetherington, Solomon Haumono[/i

Interchange Henry Paul, Luke Dorn, Bill Peden, Mark Tookey[/i

18th manJulien Rinaldi[/i

doesnt that defeat the point entirely

No, because they were still potent players in their 2nd best position. e.g. Denis Moran could be tremendously effective at no 6 even though he mostly played at No. 7. Richie Barnett also had skills that made him a very good attacking centre, even if he was more dangerous at full back.

Oh dear
Oh dear

Richie Barnett's didn't have a favourite position. He liked the defensive side of being a centre and the attacking side of being a fullback. His words, not mine.

always find "dream Teams" are awaste of time personally......for me, the best london team is the one from 2005....not because of the hammerings they dished out (and received from Leeds + Saints) but because we were competative whilst being ENTERTAINING!
800 Points for....+82 difference (last time we had a + in that column) and the team played like they were enjoying themselves....and a rocking Griffin Park.

I always loved Danny Orr and Tony Martin. they would be in my Dream team.

Louie would be in there too.

How about a nightmare team? Kouparitsas, Villasanti, Weisner, the head from St Helens, Sun Lounge orange prop from the North (Sam ?) for starters!

Don't forget Frank Napoli!

Would Frank get in this years team?

Yes - as a centre.

Stephen (?) Bannister was one of those, talked up by Phil Clarke a couple of months later, Mat Gardner, .... Plenty of others but my memory doesn't work.

Quite a few of them signed by TR. methinks?

And there was the guy we didn't quite sign, did a flit to Widnes while on our pre-season training in Abu Dhabi or similar. Left Widnes mid-season under a cloud, rumoured to have knuckled the coach. Troy summat?


EDIT: Got it - Troy Wozniak.

Anderson was ours 'til we went bust!

We've had some rubbish thats for sure

I liked Danny Williams- always seemed to have cuts on his nose!

I'd include Wayne Evans somewhere, and Scott Cram, and Grant Young. Need a squad rather than a team at this rate.
