Saints team of 2006 : Thu Aug 30, 2012 7:21 pm  

What was the Saints team of 2006 that won the double & how would they compare to today's Warrington team? I know it is hard to compare like for like particularly from another era, but who were your 1st choice 17 back in 06 & how do you think they would compare against todays Warrington team? Also who was your Coach back then?

Our current 1st choice 17 are:
1 Hodgson
2 Riley
3 Ratchford
4 Atkins
5 Monas J
6 Briers
7 Myler
8 Moz
9 Monas M
10 Carvell
11 Westwood
12 Waterhouse
13 Ben Harrison

14 Mickey Higham
15 Woody
16 Hill
17 Grix

Coach: Tony Smith

Wellens
Gardner
Lyon
Talau
Meli
Pryce
Long
Cayless
Cunningham
Anderson P
Wilkin
Gilmour
Sculthorpe

Graham
Roby
Fa'asavalu
Hooper

Coach: Daniel Anderson

No contest. Jog on Wolfs!!!

I reckon of the current Wolfs squad Atkins, J Monaghan, Carvell, Morley & Westwood would have made Saints' 2006 squad. A sad sign of the decline in the standard of SL in just 6 years I think.

St Rabban..... Calm Down, Calm Down or you will crease your shell suit.

1 Hodgson Vs Wellens = Hodgson
2 Riley Vs Gardner = Riley
3 Ratchford Vs Lyons = Lyons
4 Atkins Vs Talau = Ryan
5 Monas J Vs Meli = Joel
6 Briers Vs Pryce = Lee (and you know it)
7 Myler Vs Long = Long ( but Richie is only 22)
8 Moz Vs Cayless = Moz
9 Monas M Vs Cunningham = Cunningham (but only just)
10 Carvell Vs Anderson P = Carvell
11 Westwood Vs Wilkin = Benny all day long
12 Waterhouse Vs Gilmour = Trent
13 Ben Harrison Vs Scully = Scully (legend)

14 Mickey Higham Vs Roby = Mickey (as with Richie I have compared the 2006 Sts team with our team today, so it Mickey)
15 Woody Vs Graham = Graham
16 Hill Vs Fa'asavalu = Hilly
17 Grix Vs Hooper = Hooper

Coach: Tony Smith Vs Daniel Anderson = Tony Smith

Out of the 18 comparisons I make it Warrington taking 12 wins.
So Saint Rabban its you that needs to JOG ON.

You are a one-eyed numpty who has never even remotely been on the same planet as a clue if you could genuinely believe that utter crock of horse leavings. Mr. Rabban's advice to jog on is about right.

Do you want another go, with some sense of reality this time. At the very best I can call 2 wire players, I,ll give you a clue one of them his surname begins with a W.

It was a fairly convincing bit of fishing until you put that. Let yourself down there.

Re: Saints team of 2006 : Thu Aug 30, 2012 8:44 pm  

This Warrington team is a brilliant one and must surely be the best Wire team in their history. But (and this is from a St Helens hating Wigan fan) the Saints team from 06 has been the best team for the best part of two decades. I think they had a genuine case for claiming to be the best club side in the world back then. I'd say the only other two sides who you could mention in the same breath would be the recent Leeds team and the Bradford side from the early 2000's (in the SL era of course)!

What a hilariously poor attempt at trolling.
