Depends on the criteria, which is never clarified on these things.(which always narks me when i see jamie lyon mentioned in all time SL list)

If tenure isn't a weighted value, you could argue he had 2 very very good seasons with us, good defender, good try scorer. Saved the 2019 challenge cup final with THAT tackle.

I would argue the same with gillies, now i'm not advocating for him to be in a team of all time, but its harsh to include him with some crap, as he was very good, and responsible for scott wilson scoring a hat full of tries, Kohe-love finishing (joint?) top of the try scoring charts, and i think whoever played right ring(roach for the start of the season) scored a hat full of tries also.

edit, just looking back, i'd certainly have goodwin in at centre over monaghan, and, its surprised me to see Domic included in your list of honourable mentions who'd wager was no better or worse than goodwin was during his time here.

I'd also have leikvoll in the honourable mentions list, big man, made his tackles, decent offload game, always found the floor for quick ptb's, and got a few years out of him. you put him in this team, it would make all the difference in the world.

Yeah fair comments.

Id have matt king at centre over monaghan.

The honourable mentions was quite subjective based on my emotions around the player and the circumstances they joined. The list of those that don't make the "best team" does include some decent players and some not so. I never used the word crap though. :-)
