Stole this from the Bulls board but thought it might form an interesting discussion.

I am sure we have probably done this before at some point in the past but what would your all time SL starting 13 be?

Based on my opinion;

1. Halpenny
2. Jones-Bishop
3. Collis
4. Domic
5. Johnstone
6. Jeffries
7. Smith
8. Fifita
9. March
10. Korkidas
11. Solomona
12. Lauititi
13. Demetriou

TBH, I struggled slightly with Props, keep thinking there may be some I am missing!

Notable absences for me; Ellis, Rooney, Brough, Atkins, Blaymire, Obst.

Agree with above, homme, but agree with your absence list and replace Smith with Brough and March with Obst

Would have Smith at 7 in my team all day long over Brough, again just my opinion but the way he guided us around the pitch was a lot better than any other half I have seen in the SL era, Liam Finn was probably the closest for me,but for me Smith has one of the best passing games I have ever seen and yes I include the NRL in that as well.

I wouldn’t have Smith anywhere near either Finn or Brough. He was inconsistent and ha zero bottle. He’s not even in my top five. Skill is no substitute for all that was missing.

I’ll accept Jeffries on a good day, I’ll even accept Ellis went too soon but Smith over Brough, not in my universe.

Still each to their own....

Glad Poaching is in 17 ,Brough the first time round would push Smith ,but S Obst to start for me

Prescott? As good a player has he was for Saints and Hull he certainly was no way our best full back. Apart from 1 long range try I can't really bring forward any other positive memories. Considering that his period was the nightmare 2000 season when players wern't being paid and ended up taking the club to an employment tribunal it's hardly surprising.

Re: All Time Superleague 13 : Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:26 pm  

Tim Smith was a very good player for us, but he wasn't even close to the levels that Brough hit in the last couple of years of his first spell. Aiton the stand out hooker for me as well.

I actually thought out of all the so called big names we signed he stood out and a good season so would be in my team

That's pretty good that idea but I would put Chris Riley in at fullback just to confirm his status amongst those you mention.
