All I'm saying is that many people seem to think that JD is close to God like and that they should give some thought to who else has played in the same positions. It's far easier to think of who's playing for us now than think back over 10 years of players who have left us. (EDIT - just realised I'd forgotten about Big Dunc McGillivray who would definitely have a place in the 17)

There are no rules to say someone has to be played in their best position, but if your selecting the best team it does sort of make sense to consider players in their best positions.

Don't get me wrong - JD is a good player and would definitely be someone I would want in my squad, but unfortunately he wouldn't get into my top 17 for the decade.

Not all in this team the best technically, more of a personal favourite team.

He played until 2003. Incidentally he gave the best full back performance I've ever seen away at Huddersfield in 2001.

and he never moved out of the way

No one mentioned Latu, thought he was the golden child on here

Interested and pleased to see Halpenny make it into the latter few teams. It was a big challenge for me choosing between him or Blaymire at FB. In the end I went for Blaymire with Halpenny on the bench, reflecting his versatility. Could have gone either way for me.

Halpenny isn't even in the top three fullbacks of the decade. Did a decent job out of position there but wasn't close to the three proper fullbacks.

Very good point for some reason I thought we'd binned him off for Prescott in 2000. Quality full back up there with Blaymire for sure.

I would imagine looking at the stats Halpenny would come out on top, Holland was a great clubman but his game consisted of defence with no going forward game to speak of, Halpenny was a breath of fresh air.

At the time our full back needed to be rock solid in defence. Don't reckon Holland missed many one on ones and was faultless under the high ball.

Very few and like he said his defensive game was spot on but a full back needs to be more than a ball catching brick wall in the modern game.
