One for the list makers - Batley: get your Kleenex : Fri Jul 03, 2009 8:28 am  

Friday's chalenge is to come up with a best 17 from the players involved in Superleague since 1996.

The only rules are:

1) The players must have played in the Superleague era (obviously)
2) To keep the bottom feeders from participating you can't include any players who have played for Leeds
3) You can't have more than 3 players in the 17 who had played at the same club - even in different years

Knock yourselves out.

Does taht mean tha someone like fielden would count as both Bradford and Wigan, so if you included him, you could only have 2 more wigan players and 2 more bradford players

Yep. Thats what I was getting at (badly).

1. Iestyn Harris - Leeds Rhinos
2. Jason Robinson - Wigan Warriuors
3. Jami Lyon - St Helens
4. Keith Senior - Sheffield Eagles
5. Leslie Vainikolo - Bradford Bulls
6. Henry Paul - Wigan Warriors
7. Sean Long - St Helens
8. Stuart Fielden - Bradford Bulls
9. James Lowes - Bradford Bulls
10. Jamie Peacock - Leeds Rhinos

I may have shoe-horned a few in that have really shone at Leeds but got them in under their other clubs

Edit: Aubert the lover has scuppered my list.

That's such a believist line up.

Whilst searching for some more obscure players I came across this.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastien_Chabal I don't remember this happening, is it just a typically accurate Wiki page?

Plenty of quality, plenty of GF appearances and wins and plenty of men of Steel.

I very much doubt anyone could quantify a better line-up, albeit i may have strayed from your criteria.

Which players do you have an issue with and who would you replace with?
