Quote ="vitch"Our success in 05/06 was built on team play, no one player 'took the game by the scruff off the neck' to quote the OP.
Swain was a great player and inspired his teamates to great things by his effort.
I disagree that he could change a game on his own though. Not sure I remember him breaking the line and going 60 metres.
Smith had it all, and created his own space. Won a game at London after supposedly forgetting the score thinking a try was needed to draw level.'"
I agree, players like Chester and McMenemy underated but contributed greatly. Cooke was missed after he left, but through cumulative injuries we haven't had the same Richard Horne.
