Dream Teams : Mon Sep 11, 2023 7:26 am  

...just a bit of fun but tonight we're recording a Dream Team podcast and who would make our all time 1-13 Trinity Dream Team - appreciate this might be in the midst of a doom and gloom period but it's something we want to hear from the rest of you!

Let us know and we'll read them out on the podcast!

I’m picking this team as if each player was in their prime. I understand a few like Locke, Newton et al only played a handful of games for us, but they were quality players, infact a few world class players. Locke’s performance against Hull FC was pure quality. If you could get away with this team under the cap some how I think it would be a cracking side and looking at these players names brings back really good memories to some great times. I always know that as soon as I submit this then another player who would be deserving of a place will spring to mind!

1- Kevin Locke
2-Tom Johnstone
3-Bill Tupou
4-Sid Domic
5- Ben Cockayne
6- Danny Brough
7- Tim Smith
8- Shane Tronc
9- Terry Newton
10- David Fifita
11- Gareth Ellis
12- David Solomona
13- Joe Westerman

14- Paul Aiton
15- Tinirau Arona
16- Richard Moore
17- Michael Korkidas

I'm picking mine based upon what I have seen, since 1980, also picking on performances based over a reasonable period of time (hence why a couple of big names I have left out

1 Matt Blaymire
2 BJB
3 Andy Mason
4 Sid Domic
5 Tom Johnstone
6 Nigel Wright
7 Danny Brough
8 Kyle Amor
9 Paul Aiton
10 David Fifita
11 Gareth Ellis
12 David Solomona
13 Ray Price

14 Nigel Bell
15 Justin Poore
16 Tinny Arona
17 JD

Only really saw Toppo for 1 season in his first stint really, likewise with Bill Ashurst and Wally Lewis 10 games.

Billy Conway could have pushed Belly for that sub spot, but Belly's versatility and durability edged him out. Chris Perry also added good value to that Toppo era.

Kyle Amor, knew there was someone I’d miss out . What a player he was.

He was. It was close for my bench, for my other prop, but went for Poore, very close for me, between him and England, I thought he was really good for us un those first 2 maybe 3 seasons.

Now I've seen yours Trojan I need to find somewhere for JD.
He may have to take Murphy's place.

Good thread. Someone (probably on here) has put a Wiki page together to help jog the memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_W ... ty_players Although before my time, Neil Fox and Ian Brooke have to be up there, I'd also consider Steve Prescott, Bobbie Goulding and Ryan Atkins.
