Wasn't meant to be X13 : Tue Mar 09, 2021 3:50 pm  

Through boredom, thought id make a team of players it never worked out for at our club.
Injuries, moving too soon, or just being rubbish (Achurch) all played a factor. I've tried to pick players with genuinely high expectations too....

Mullins
BJB
Chev Walker
T Carroll
L Smith (bit harsh)
B Walker
T Kemp
A Vowles
M Achurch
B Clyde
Thakeray
P Mcshane
K Galloway

Bench-
S Ward
J Segayaro
B Cross
T Merrin


Any others?

Is an X13 a team of 23 players?

Was low budget and no expectations on him, so did not include......

Ash Gibson springs to mind. He had all the skill in the world, scored 20 points on debut and would have been a good centre for years in the Leeds team. A couple of bad leg injuries later and he lost all his speed and was never the same player again.

I give you the man in the most exclusive of exclusive SL clubs - scoring the wining try in a grand final to win the treble.

Mr Josh Walters.
