| Just watched some highlights from the Grand Final in 98 and I was amused at Paul Cullens comments about the sheer size of the Wakefield team.
As they all passed him at the end of the tunnel he said,
[i"if theres ever been a bigger Rugby League team than this Wakefield side I've never seen it"[/i
It got me thinking about what the biggest team of players we ever had would be, Players must have played 30 + games for Trinity:
1. Halpenny 6'3
2. Josh Bostock 6'4
3. Neil Fox 6,2 (a giant in his day)
4. Adrian Brunker 6'2
5. Brian Juliff 6'2
6. Nigel Wright 6'2
7. Nigel Bell 5'10 but 16st
8. Chris Feather 6'5
9. Alan McCurrie 5'11
10. Wayne McDonald 6'7
11. Andy Kelly 6'4
12. Darren Fritz 6'3
13. Mark Graham 6,4
On size alone that team would take some stopping but there's also alot of quality players in there.

| Josh Bostock
What a player he was! Scored all them tries for us simply by getting the ball five metres from the line and falling over with his arms out.
Sean Richardson (was that his name??), he was in the squad then, he was a big lad.
Vince Fawcett was about 6'4" as well if I remember rightly.

Objection, your honour! How many games did Mark Graham play for us? Must have been closer to 3 than 30. Or were there 2 Mark Grahams?

| There was a prop in the 70's (I think) called Brian West, who looked about 6 foot 12 because he was slim built. I'm sure I can recall him playing on the wing when we were short of players (nowt seems to change) at Headingley one Boxing Day - we got absolutely thashed IIRC.
