Quote fleabag="fleabag"They do when referring to players like Edwards and Gregory.'"
Not really.
Edwards was a talent, but in the right place, right time? Never did cut it Internationally, but was that his fault? Jury is out.
Gregory.....interesting but wouldn't make the reserves today. Far too unfit.
Fantastic player though and I for one am glad that I saw him play. Overall out of the two I would have Edwards in my team for his professionalism and determination.
Kenny has to be the most complete 6 to play for us. Anyone who can seriously talked about in comparison to Wally Lewis has to be up there.
Dean Bell would be one of the first names on the team sheet. Individual talent notwithstanding, the guy was a legend. My probable captain.
So that leaves 1 centre spot. Who to pick? Miles? Connoly? Renouf? Inga? Very difficult, almost impossible.
Wingers have to be Offiah and Robinson. Never saw Boston but he would probably not be able to live with the pace of Offiah, nor have the ability to hit the gaps like Robinson. I'm sure he had other qualities....
So that leaves us with
Sam
Robinson
Bell
?
Offiah
Edwards
Kenny
Forwards? Again very difficult as we have had a lot.
Platt would have to be there for his consistency and applicaiton
Hooker? The heart rembers Dermott but the head may choose McCormack
Then choose one from many
Farrell would be a second row as would Goodway, leaving Hanley as 13.
