Cannot argue with the bulk of your sixties team Sandal,but I would probably put in Coetzer ahead of both Prinsloo and Greenwood and Bob Haigh before Williamson.

Are you gonna run on with the sponge dad?

Oops! forgot about Bob Haigh - yeah I agree with that move. I wouldn't be too dissappointed if Coetzer replaced either Prinsloo or Greenwood such was the quality of them all!

I'm no Julien Rinaldi but as JK was wont to say, I'll have a good dig.

Vastman as coach?

Not just a list of the best players but I've thought about combinations and functionality as a team.

17th man??? an afterthought then...

Based on who I've seen play and not reputation or longevity of stay

Leeds

Domic
Mason
Ryder

Paul
Smith

Fritz
Fuller
Tronc
Whakarau
Solomona
R Price

Shelford
Lauititi
B Conway

I'm honoured to make this team. The half time talk would be a right laugh.....we'd be late back on arguing about what we were going to do.
More of a hooker though....I'll swap shirts if you like Bren

I think I can say with confidence that your shirt would be several sizes too big for me - most are.

Based on what I've seen play for Wakey

Henry Paul
Andy Wilson
Sid Domic
Gareth Ellis
Semi Tadulala
Nigel Wright
Danny Brough
Darren Fritz
Paul Aiton
Adam Watene
David Solomona
Willie Poaching
Ray Price

I'm finding this hard as I've watched since mid 70s and there are a lot of players who deserve a place. The hard part is to pick good players while they were at Wakefield rather than players who were great before arriving and were getting old with us, like Steve Norton for instance. Great player in his day.

So I'm going for

1) Henry Paul
2) Andrew Fletcher
3) Keith Smith
4) Sid Domic
5) Jason Demetriou
6) Wally Lewis
7) Mike Lampkowski
Adrian Shelford
9) Alan McCurrie
10) Trevor Skerrett
11) David Solomona
12) Gareth Ellis
13) Ray Price

As Clan says, I have tried to build a team rather than just the best players but predominently that is the same.
I have however kept them to their correct positions. If I was able to build the team myself and bring them to modern day I would play Lampkowski at hooker and probably play Danny Brough at Scrum Half. I think Lampy would have been a world beater as a modern day hooker. His game was perfectly suited to that role.

That'll do me, i could show that Wally Lewis a thing or two!

Tried to select my team ,but find it impossible.
Stand off for example Poynton ,Lewis orTopliss.
Move Lewis to loose, but how can I leave out Turner, and so on.
Would have to think more deeply, and as people have said, select a team which would perform well together.
