Isn’t it XIII. What you’ve done there is a kind of Anglo-Roman hybrid 23.

Senior over Newlove for me. Newlove didn't play enough in SL, and he did less for GB/England than Senior (Aussie gossip antics aside!).

McGuire was probably more entertaining to watch, but I'd have Sinfield in at 6 instead (you'd need a calmer head alongside Long). Might have been tempted by H. Paul, who was unplayable at times.

Fielden's rather sudden demise after he left Bradford leaves a question mark over his inclusion IMO. I'd swap Peacock in at prop, and then bring in another second-row. Probably Morley, maybe Ellis - both having some success in the NRL too.

I considered Senior but I thought Newlove was just capable of doing that bit more. He was capable of breaking the line and scoring from 50m out which was something very few centres were capable off. Although he only played a small number for SL seasons so did Lyon.

I also considered Sinfield but thought there were enough leaders in that side already and McGuire's support play adds another dimension, not to mention his playmaking ability that he developed as he progressed. Henry Paul is a decent shout too.

To be fair to Fielden I think it's unfortunate and unfair that his demise almost overshadows his achievements. If anything it highlights the inherent negativity of the RL fan. He was the best prop in SL for 5 or 6 years. If you move Peacock up to prop then maybe Ellis or Lauitiiti should come in. Morley's best years were in the NRL IMO.
