some of these are going to be interesting! Rads had no competition for the full back position, but a lot of the other spots might be close.
I suspect most of them will be from the '95 squad, though.
FWIW, here's mine:-
Radlinski
Robison
Tuigamala
Connolly
Offiah

Paul
Edwards

Skerrett
Newton
C. Smith
Betts
Clarke
Farrell

coach...tempted to say Millward, but that might be a bit premature...so Mike Gregory.

So you're not expecting lots of votes for Wes Davies then?

Can we not find room in there for Gene Miles?

My memory is going!

Did Clark and Inga play SL? If they did it couldn't have been more than a few games.

Clarke went to Aus (was this ARL/SL war time) to retire injured and Inga was one of Rob Andrew's first signings at Newcastle just as RU turned pro.

I thought Clarke a fabulous player and captain, but surely he was a no.13?

Inga looked promising once we trimmed him down to 42st!! Never played long enough for me to select him in my 13 though.

Heaven knows who I shall opt for.

I'm being fairly strict on the "last 10 years" criterion...Clarke and Tuigamala were in the '95 Wembley side. I wanted to keep both Farrell and Clarke, but wouldn't object to switching their positions.

Ron, Gene Miles was before '95, otherwise he'd definitely have been in my selection.

Wes himself, or his grandad Billy perhaps?
