Hape, Peacock and Naylor.

I went Hape - him and Lesley had the best partnership i have ever seen!

Naylor - From what I can remember, he was awesome in defence and attack - And he had big calfs! lol

Lastly - I went Bradley

Shonny proved to be the classiest centre we've had, in my eyes. Easy top selection.

I think that Keith Lulia has bundles of potential and a lot of class, but the only reason I can't put him in is because of the fact he's only been here a while and has yet to fully prove himself in the way others did, but I feel a bit guilty about it.

BUT ... the other two for me just have to be the Peacock and the Penguin.

this. exactly this.

Hape let him self down for me the way he sulked in early 2008 and then engineered his move to union left a bad taste with his old colleagues.

Jape
Keith
Naylor

In that order

Hape is a clear winner, but Nero is well under-rated on here even though he was one of the few backs that flourished during the felt-tip pen tinted Macca years.


Bring back Neromania

Penguin and Hape.

Gone for Hape and Naylor. There has been some quality in the centres though, looking down the list it almost takes the breath away, with such as Ben Harris, Danny Peacock and 'Penguin' Graeme Bradley. Happy with my choices though.

Looking back over that list it really hits home how many top quality centres we had at the club during our 'glory years'. Peacock, Bradley, Loughlin, Leon, Costin, Mackay, Johnson & Ben Harris.

Quite so. For me Lulia could turn out (nearly )as good as Shontayne. I agonised between Naylor Harris Peacock and Bradley for my 3rd choice and finally plumped for the Penguin. However he was such a distinct character with a definite view on everything, I'm not sure how he would interact with some of the other probable selections for the Dream Team!

A lot of overseas talent on that list, although I always rated Naylor during his prime. A shame you could not retain Atkins and Bridge, as Bradford's loss was definitely Warrington's gain.
