Is there an argument that Henare could be in both the best and the worst?

Where's Tyrone Roberts? Another marquee misfit!

you not recall him having a short fuse and punching lots of people in 1996?

the infamous brawl versus bradford where he started wailing on glen tomlinson for no reason while there was another melee going on, which ended up with him blindly grabbing the touchies leg and dragging him to the floor?

If there was a “most exciting” team, he’s be in with a shout. He was one of those players that when he got the ball the terrace took a collective breath almost in expectation of something to happen.

Just for you we can have a most #5 exciting team.
Not particularly great players.

I wouldn't have Steve Georgiallis on there.

I remember people being annoyed when we signed him, as we already had the image of being the retirement home for ageing Aussies and it seemed like an underwhelming signing to make up for Campion changing his mind on us. But in the handful of games he played, he put in a good shift.

I also think Tyrone Roberts was so-so rather than being abysmal. He suffered from pre-season hype and that youtube montage which had us thinking we were getting a game breaking superstar. But the most positive period of the Steve Price era was when we had Roberts at halfback.

Two players from around the Georgallis era who could be nominated for this team would be Anthony Swann and Leon Felton.

Swann was one of the short term loan signings we brought in in the post-DVDV part of 2001. I remember him being absolutely worked over by Bradford when they put 80 odd on us.

Felton was one of those Aussie juniors who qualified as an EU player through family heritage so was off quota, there was a bit of hype about him because he'd been on Saints books the year before. But he looked like basically a student player finding himself in the pros and was well out of his depth.
