There is a difference.


Exactly. When Ellery did his in Rugby League Week, he picked Phil Larder as the coach. There has to be a personal element in these things or it would run its course very quickly.

Steve Hampson was a great full back but the best one I ever saw was Greg Brentnall.He toured with the 82 kangaroos and was a bit of an unsung hero.I went to a few club games on that tour and saw all the tests on TV and he never put a foot wrong.Always in the right place at the right time,safe under the high ball,solid in defence,the bloke oozed class.Cool as a cucumber,he seemed to have lots of time with the ball and without it.Great full back.

Dermott was a sensational passer of the ball. As Rogues has said, the best passer from acting half back I've ever seen. His knack of making a half break from nothing and sending someone (normally Edwards) clean away was fantastic. He could also mix it and for his size put in quite a few damaging shots at crucial moments. You might think someone else is better, and that's fair enough, but to call him average displays total ignorance of the hooking role and Derm's abilities.

Am I correct in thinking this is 'Andy Gregory's Dream Team', and not 'Andy Gregory's Best Players of All Time Team'.

There is a difference and I can't help thinking he is in a pretty good position to judge.



its his dream team.

Of course there is - it's not an 'all time greats side' after all, it's his 'dream team'.

His personal experience is what counts - as far as he's concerned he'd sooner have Eddie Cunningham alongside him. That's fair enough.

Some years back I read Andy`s autobiography "Pint Size" and in it he names world/ best ever X111. The teams seem to be very similar. I wonder if this line up has been lifted from his book. I no longer have access to the book so I am unable to check it. Perhaps some one who has the book could confirm my suspicions.
