I actually thought out of all the so called big names we signed he stood out and a good season so would be in my team

Craig Hall
Kevin Penny
Sean Gleason
Josh Vievers
Matt Peterson

Jeremy Smith
Harry Siejka

Charlie Leano
Paul McShane
Jarrod Hickey
Matt Ryan
Vince Mellars
Stuart Howarth

That's pretty good that idea but I would put Chris Riley in at fullback just to confirm his status amongst those you mention.

1. Tongia
2. Johnstone
3. Collis
4. Domic
5. Sovatabua
6. Jeffries
7. Brough
8. Fifita
9. Drew
10. Korkidas
11. Solomona
12. Lauititi
13. Ellis

Correct.

Brough was pure magic for two seasons, never had a bad game. He played his heart out and single handed won games. Had we kept him I believe we’d have won something, I never for one moment believed Smith would. Smith was full of ability but this idea that he led the team around is nonsense imo. It was Sykes who did all the hard work and when he wasn’t there neither was Smith.

I’m sure some will disagree with me but to me he’s a player who gets far more credit than he deserves, especially for his second stint.

He was by no stretch a disaster but the best we’ve had in SL!

Most of those I’ll go with but Sean Gleason, get real. You must watch a very different game to me because to most people he was a very handy player.

Brough, just before he left was sublime
His recent spell casts a bit of a shadow but, ability and service to the club should put him above Smith, although, Smith on his day was top drawer.

You cant pick out Gleeson and leave Leano and Hickey in there

Always interesting when I see these lists, I think most people (myself included) would put JD in the team but there was a time when he was hounded by a sizeable majority of supporters who demanded his removal as captain.

Would have to have a long think about a "best team" do you go for the most talented individuals or players that would fit in together well to create the best team?

The 2004 left edge of Semi, Domic, Solomona and Jeffries was unstoppable, for example.

I would have Brough over Smith personally, but then look at how good Smith and Kirmond linked on the right?

Not with you?

Surprised no one thought Monty worthy of a place.
Good solid and no nonsense performer.

Forgot about Betham for a minute there, again probably one of my favourites but can`t justify having him in over JD at 13.

He was as tough as they come that lad, I`ll never forget Cas away 2006 where he gave one of there players a good hiding was it Mcgoldrick?
