OP implied Super League.
He'd be in any team I picked where he was eligible.

Nathan Wood at stand off for me
Literally a one man team in the games he played for us, I don't think I've ever seen any one throw so many dummies lol
Sadly bad mouthed the club and his team mates when he left but that a side an awesome player that I'd add to our best SL side

Andrew Frew might be a shout for fullback, was pretty quick
In the season we got promoted Garen Casey was the man, although he was terrible when he moved to Salford the following season

Garen Casey didn't play Super League with us and I think his move to Salford was a realy bad decision for him.
If he'd stayed with us he could have been the guy who lead us through a historic season for us.
Had good skills but he was a great leader just when we needed one to get in to Super League.
I think if he'd stayed we would be talking about him in similar ways to how JD is regarded

Actually reading back on your team, I thought Duncan McGillivray gave us great value.
His tackle technique was perfect.

Ellis was fantastic at 6 in the 2004 run in. Dont get me wrong, he obviously went on to become a very good player, but i always felt after what he did for us that year, that his talents were not fully stretched when he went to Leeds, basically because they had others doing some of the things he could have been doing.
He was allowed to settle (and often excelled) as a big hitting, edge runner, when for me, he could in fact have had more influence on games. Maybe not as a 6 but certainly as an old school ball handling loose forward.

KEAR OUT !!!!:2552.jpg |

Top three for me.
1. Solomona
2. Poching
3. Domic.
Closely followed by Griffin !!
If it had taken into account a few years earlier then Henry Paul would have topped the list. From game 1 he just looked in a different ball park to anyone else and whenever he got the ball at full back the opposition defence just stood back not knowing what he was going to do next. Wigan away will always be remembered for "that" try and ultimately sealed his move to Wigan.

without doubt for me the best player to have played for Trinity in the super league era not withstanding the present team was Danny Brough ( He is still the best player in super league) how we miss him now. but very closely followed by Davis Solomona the best 2nd rower in the world at the time
