More time on my hands:

Picked two teams of Trinity players, one from Aus and the other from NZ and other Islands.

What's yours?

Australia
1Andrew Leeds
2 Andrew Frew
3 Steve Ella
4 Adrian Brunker
5 Greg Lennon
6 Wally Lewis
7 Geoff Bagnall
8 Darren Fritz
9 Matt Fuller
10 Geoff Gerard
11Alan Burns
12 Steve Georgalis
13 Ray Price

NZ/Islanders
1 Henry Paul
2 Waisere Sovatabua
3 James Luiluiai
4 Tony Tatupu
5 Lino Foai
6 Martin Moana
7 Tony Kemp
8 Adrian Shelford
9 Monty Betham
10 Adam Watene
11 David Solomona
12 Mark Graham
13 Willie Poching

I dont have the time you have obviously, but Sid Domic would deffo be in there

Like this Clan. I'll have a go when I get to work.

The NZ back row is awesome, Solomona, Graham, Poaching, these 3 in their prime would get into any team on the planet.
I'm surprised ythat you havent found aplce for the giant of a front rower, Hickey


On a serious note though, Tronc would have to be in the "Aussie" pack, as long as he wasn't suffering from homesickness.

Ok this is my go.

I was surprised I couldn't think of a Kiwi scrum half so had to shuffle around to get Henry Paul in there.
I also think Geoff Gerrard is a great player having seen him play in old videos but never saw him play for Wakefield so dropped him. Stosic gets the call.
Georgalis I dropped as he was really a half back that played later as a loose. I decided on Chris Mortimer but could have put quite a few in there, with even Fritz in the back row and Korki or Tronc taking his place. I was very tempted to put McGillivray in. I loved hsi tackling technique but as Price was already in the team I went another way.

I liked your call on Allan Burns. he was a good player but not mentioned much these days.

I have a feeling that the NZ pack would monster the Aussie one but the Aussie backs are class so not sure what would happen.

Australia
1 Andrew Leeds
2 Andrew Frew
3 Steve Ella
4 Sid Domic
5 Jason Demetriou
6 Wally Lewis
7 Geoff Bagnall
8 Darren Fritz
9 Matt Fuller
10 James Stosic
11 Alan Burns
12 Chris Mortimer
13 Ray Price

NZ/Islanders
1 Waisere Sovatabua
2 Semi Tadulala
3 James Luiluiai
4 Tony Kemp
5 Josh Bostock
6 Martin Moana
7 Henry Paul
8 Adrian Shelford
9 Monty Betham
10 Adam Watene
11 David Solomona
12 Mark Graham
13 Willie Poching

Aaron Whittaker?
David Bailey?

Who's this Lewis bloke you have picked in front of Garen Casey????


Maybe Brian Jackson in front of Brunkner?
Tim Smith in front of Geoff?
Chris Perry would have to settle for a place on the bench along with Nathan Wood who although wasnt here long, was still quality!

Im not sure where but Ali must be in with a shout for the Kiwis. Although looking at the options he may have to settle for coming on as an impact sub when Solo needed a breather.

Can't believe I forgot Tim Smith. Though if i was building a team I think Bagnall would work well with Lewis.
Chris Perry was great but I wouldn't put him in front of Ella or Domic

1. Henry Paul
2. Semi Tadulala
3. Sid Domic
4. Dean Collis
5. Wasa Sovatabua
6. Tim Smith
7. Sam Obst
8. Adam Watene
9. Monty Betham
10. Shane Tronc
11. Ali Lauititi
12. David Solomona
13. Willie Poching

14. Duncan Macgillvarry
15. James Stosic
16. Paul Aiton
17. Jason Demetriou

Slightly more modern team, but a formidable one nevertheless.

How can these two have been missed, an oversight surely??????

mark graham? might as well have had brent todd or lamond copestake in the team.

What about Alfie sorongo
Or that
Troutman chap

George truelove legend

Owen Stephens at No 5

Graham went ok for us, Todd on the other hand, fell far short of his reputation and was a total let down.

Would there be a space for Clinton o'Brien??

That is so not how I saw it. He was excellent for us. Just short term.

dont forget Steve Helliwell was great centre signed signed from leigh

Yes. Thought he was great player.

Ray Baxendale anyone

That's a good call. We at Heritage were looking at Trinity's best ever Overseas XIII. We included all overseas players which included the South Africans from the 1960s. Dennis Boocker was an Aussie crowd favourite in the 1950s but the very first Aussie that Trinity signed was Albert Rosenfeld in 1922, the record breaking Huddersfield winger

The Best Overseas XIII we came up with was:
Ella, Coetzer, Skene, Demetriou, Boocker, Lewis, Paul, Shelford, Kosanovic, Korkidas, Graham, Solomona, Price. Subs: Prinsloo, Leuluai, Burns, Mortimer
Honourable mentions went to: Stephens, Leeds, B.Jackson, Domic, B.Davis, Obst, du Toit, Fuller and Vowles

Anyone remember Lindsay Gill???

Yes Wally's minder was a bad lad a few years back by all acounts.
