    Default Competition Saints super league all time greats plus one

    Bored, so I decided to start a competition (no prizes alas) to cheer me up during the dark winter nights. Here are the rules:-
    Name your saints super league team, all 17, but:-
    You can use a maximum of 5 non british players.
    One player must have played for saints but not in the super league era, e.g. ellaby.
    My attempt is:-
    Wellens Paul
    Hunte Alan
    Lyon Jamie
    Newlove Paul
    Sullivan Anthony
    Pryce Leon
    Long Sean
    Britt David
    Cunningham Kieran
    Anderson Paul
    Joynt Chris
    Gilmour Lee
    Sculthorpe Paul
    Perelini Apollo
    Fairleigh David
    Meninga Mal
    Martyn Tommy

    Have Fun. Looking forward to your suggestions.

    I can not believe that no one has picked probably the greatest player ever to pull on a Saints shirt, in fact probably the only Saints player to get in any "serious" journo's greatest ever side in, " ALEX MURPHY" the greatest scrum half the world has ever seen...

    My 17 are as follows :-


    1. Paul Wellens
    2. Anthony Sullivan
    3. Jamie Lyon
    4. Paul Newlove
    5. Darren Albert

    6. Tommy Martyn
    7. Alex Murphy

    8. David Fairleigh
    9. Keiron Cunningham
    10. Paul Anderson
    11. Chris Joynt
    12. Derek Mc Vey
    13. Paul Sculthorpe

    14. Nick Fozzard
    15. Scott Gibbs
    16. Sean Long
    17. Apollo Perelini

    Whoever Quirke is has done well to get the extra spot(s)? of non SL players (with George Mann) also.

    Two half backs on the bench is an interesting way to go

    Not a bad XIII though

    I was inspired by the Booth/Pickavance selection to pick a team of our less-than-greats; same rules apply. Strong presence from the '98 "McRae's run out of ideas" team as they were known.

    1 Danny Arnold
    2 Joey Hayes
    3 Damien Smith
    4 Paul Anderson
    5 Steve Hall
    6 Darrell Trindall
    7 Phil Waring
    8 Rickey Bibey (Captain, and team mascot)
    9 A bad hooker? In the Cunningham era? Certainly not.
    10 Bryan Henare
    11 Heath Cruckshank
    12 Simon Booth
    13 Dean Busby

    14 Andy Haigh
    15 Chris Smith
    16 Dwayne West (famous soundbite moment excepted)
    17 Vila Matautia*

    *for all he was a fans favourite, he was also a bloody liability.

    So I'm struggling for a hooker and my bench has too many backs. Any ideas?

    Some great picks there, ..apart from the one on drugs,can't believe only one or two picked Tom Van Voll.Went to school with his son Keith and watching him in full stride I'm sure he was a blur-he was that much quicker than anyone else.
    Well remembered for Les Quirk........all he ever did was score tries.

    What about Harry Pinner ?
