Coley's there. Second Row. I take it your eyes are fixated by the Azerbaijan MMA team.

I'd have to include Andy Gregory and possibly Martin Offiah. I know they were both past their best when they played for us, but I'd have them ahead of Nash and Richards, but not by much.

Offiah and Gregory were class and would grace any Rugby team, however Richards and Nashy had a bigger influence playing for Salford than Offiah and Greg's did.

Can't argue with the British team as didn't see the majority play, purely based on reputation.

For the overseas in the starting 13 I'd swap;

Stapleton for Rampling
Panapa for Horo

Did you not see, Wally Mcarthur. Fastest man I have ever seen in a Salford shirt.

The overseas legends team would have to feature Neil Baker at 6 and Geoff Selby at 12 without doubt.
Salford legend team picks itself.

Fair comment, however Paul Shaw for me was an absolute class act playing in a poor team and he stood out a mile. Every team head hunted the poor bleeder. The worst culprit was Paul Forber playing for Sint tellins Alec Murphy apparently collared Forber at half-time and said "if that lickle nice bloke stays on that pitch you'll be transfer listed Mondee morning." bloody hell Forber nearly decapitated poor Shawy. With regards to Selby i've totally overlooked him there's no doubt he should be in the 17 good point.

Really. I never saw Wally unfortunately. I saw Fielding play. And thought he could catch pigeons. I always hear Salford fans herald Fielding the fastest.

Who was the Fastest Salford winger ?

Stapleton's go forward was better than Rampling's no doubt, But Rampling and Horo's work rate was immense i bet they'd fetch 100 tackles between them. Panapa's strength was his strong on the burst lines, All four deserve to be in the 17.

I'd have Sam Panapa in just for his goalkeeping
