Super league dream team : Thu Mar 26, 2009 10:13 am  

Goin off Andy Gregs dream team and being bored at work, whats your dream team from the super league Era

apolagies if its already been done.

heres mine

1.Radlinski
2.Robinson
3.Lyon
4.Newlove
5. Vainakolo
6.Martyn
7.Long
8.Fairlegh
9.Cunningham
10.Farrell (i though he was better at prop)
11.Peacock
12.Joynt
13. Sculthorpe

I know it seems all the players are from a few clubs. Vowles was close to gettin in, but scully just made it.

I would have had Farrell in the 2nd row ahead of Peacock, and not sure who to have in the other prop position as I've only been watching since 2002. I would have said Fielden if it wasn't for the fgact he is now utter rubbish at Wigan as he was fantastic at Bradford

i agree that fielden was good at bradford but i thought farreel in that season at prop was the best i have seen in him,

Fairleigh was very good, but only here for a year which should count against him, whereas fielden was awesome for every year but the last 2/3

That's intriguing. You're not the only one that rates Robbie that highly, but for me an overrated player. Had good physical attributes, as well as a big heart, but no where near thet technical 5/8 abilty of, say, his brother.

How about Paul Anderson, and Iestyn Harris from before he went to Union
