Different types of players, of course, but in 30 years of watching this lot, come September, I cannot remember one other player who could galvanise the team single-handedly as Edwards did.

I'm really struggling to remember Edwards as having that sort of effect on our team, but I was quite young so I'll take your word for it

shaun was without doubt one the best half backs ever to play the game........and a top guy....and has made a great job of coaching,too.

i know ,i have worked with him

Maybe....but dennis the menace was a try scoring machine and us non-purists will always go for the glory players. Like Greenwood/NBQ....both get mentioned in dipatches, but both only really had good year each.
For Me, the Martin/roy centre partnership would be gold dust for the current team.
A for wells.....he certainly stopped more tries than he scored

To put a slightly different slant on a "best ever" squad, did anybody see in the last matchday programme Steele Retchless' choice from his period playing for the club (1998-2004).

As it was from a players viewpoint, from somebody who did the hard graft with the players concerned, it gives an interesting angle.

Can't argue too much with the great one's picks.

Agreed, and he didn't even pick himself on the bench

he wasn't on but came on at that point?

Your right mate. Not only that game against the Bulls itself, but how his addition also turned round the team for the whole year. I think you're right abou the Canberra game, too.

Mark Mc Linden
Martin Offiah
Paul Sykes
Mark (Sparkles)O'Halleran
Nigel Roy
Luke Dorn

Can't believe you are the first to shout for Mark O'Halloran. Totally slipped my mind. Pretty good selection there Billy, I would slip in Cram for LMS though.
