Following on from the other threads on this topic. What would be your best XIII made up of only imports in the last decade?
Withers
Dallas (gets in above Albert due to the length of time he was here)
Lyon
Hape (gets in above Renouf due to his partnership with Big Les)
Vainikolo
Barrett (on first season form)
A Johns (lets face it there hasn't been one better)
Fairleigh (was just awesome)
?
C Smith
Furner
Lauititi
J Smith (cracking player that i'm not sure Hull ever really replaced)

The hooking position is a tricky one. Off the top of my head I'd go with Brad Drew but he probably only had a couple of good seasons.

I actually think an on form Berrigan is a decent shout for hooker, top player.
If Buderus can stay fit he'll walk the hooking spot. |

Definitely. I made an embarrassing call on here a few years back saying that he should play for GB, not realising he was a New Zealander  |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Brett Hodgson is better than Withers and Gidley is better than Hape IMO.

And Renouf was better than Gidley. |

[quote="King Monkey":30st820n]Maybe a spell in prison would do Graham good.
At least he'd lose his virginity.[/quote:30st820n]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_18919.jpg |

I maybe biased but I'd have Webb in the team before Withers or Hodgson. Plus Vaikona and Bai should be considered for one of the wing spots. Also Danny Nutley must be in with a shout for one of the prop positions.

Webb
Albert
Gidley
Lyon
Vainakolo
Barrett
Lam
Fairleigh
Swainn
Vagana
Bird
Kearney
J. Smith
There are plenty of others that you could throw in there as they are the first off the top of my head, but that team would probably give any British team of the last decade a hiding.

He's not had the best of times at Hull though so far in comparison to Swain who was excellent.
Agree about Buderus though. It was a real shame he missed the majority of last season because any proper league fan would have loved to watch him in action. |

He was ripping us to pieces in the Big One last year. Its only when he went off that we managed to get back into the game! |
