That would be nice. Shenton, Nero and Crookes in the centres, Sykes to specialise at stand off with Brough scrum half and Deacon/Thorman twiddling his thumbs in the stands.

Disagree entirely about Westwood. One of the best 80 minute forwards in the league. Would grace any team in SL. 2 teams in 10 years is hardly journeyman. Cracking photographer as well http://www.benwestwood.co.uk/
He's a plodder, runs with gusto, but has no imagination or flair to find a decent line and his tackling technique frequently involves trying to decapitate people. In fact he reminds me of a young farmer I used to know, big rosy cheeks, strong in t'arm but weak in t'head. I'm glad he's developing another career to see him through after he quits RL though, he seems to show some promise

He's certainly a no frills player, who occasionally goes too high. Every team needs both IMO. His overall penalty count is no worse than most back rowers though. He does come across a bit thick, must be the chin.
A more than useful try return as well.
