2006 was not a great year for players before Nobby came in. I am not sure Nobby really rated Danny either as he never got near the GB team while he was in charge of it, even though I would say (and so did Stevo) that his performances in 2005 merited it.

Definitely a player I would have back in a shot.

You're probably right in that I'm remembering his last season too much, it wasn't half terrible though!

picking wingers second rowers and lose forwards was really difficult because we have had some really good players in these Positions

He's also got Shane Millard in which is also laughable.

Stuart Jones is also a quality professional - i think its harsh to have him in that list.

That team would beat us now.

Can't believe how many sides have omitted Brady Malam. The lad couldn't break wind. I remember at Knowsley Road when he caught the kick off and had a run up at Mickey Higham, only to be dumped on his ass BEHIND the try line.

Beat that

Was Botham that bad for you lot? I really rated him at Leeds..

Also Tony Smith was a very good players. Numerous GB call ups whilst at Wigan. People chosing Kevin Brown, Dave Hodgson & Bob Beswick also suprises me.
