Growler's onfield attitude left a lot to be desired I felt. Chalk & cheese him & Soward.

In the honourable mention stakes I'd swap him for Dorn.






Selco, answer our prayers!

David Hughes - The Gerald Ratner of Rugby League? Discuss. Or not as the case may be.

As the original poster was not specific on whether best players in each position or just the best team in any given period. How about the following :

Marden
Roskell, Barwick, Martin, Offiah
Tullett, Beazley
Mestrov, Matterson, Bawden
Dunford, Rosolen
Gill

Subs: Edwards, Hamilton, Howard, Krause

Basically the team that beat Canberra Raiders.

Remove Offiah - past his best when he came to us and remove Richie Barnett for his attitude when we were at Brentford and I would not disgree with any other names mentioned.

I guess you might consider it the best team if you completely ignore the first 15 years of the club's history.

Had a chat with a certain Mr Edwards yesterday, he was being inducted into the RL Hall of fame, the presenter tried to ask him about the ru world cup, he just turned round and said it was a night for RL why talk about Union, top bloke and has to be in the list.

No criteria set for the assessment. If you saw that first 13 when Fulham started and got hooked then that team might be the best team ever. Could be any other selection. Chris Wilkinson, Shaun Hoare, Adrian Cambriani, Ian Van Bellan, Roy Leslie, Mark Riley or Tim Dwyer.

SET who would you go for?

I wanted the best team of the whole Super League era, but with the proviso that players were chosen in a position that they could play, even if it was not necessarily their best position.

Thus I chose Mark McLinden at full back, and and Richard Barnett at centre (a position in which Richard Barnett could play), even though Richard was more potent at full back, in order that both stars could be in the team.

I would argue that my team is the most powerful one that could have been assembled from the past two decades, though I will concede to one poster that Luke Dorn should be on the list with the "Honourable Mentions."






Toulouse for Championship in 2017, Super League in 2021!

Avignon for Championship in 2021, Super League in 2022!
