No takers for the biggest thing to come to UK RL; Spud Carroll?

The thread was about the best team not the worst.

There's an idea for a thread.

So many players to choose from though.

Even if the bulk are from recent memory.

Mick "The Scud" Seaby was bigger, and just as (in)effective.

Best 17 ever and the best team ever are two different questions, without doubt the best team has to be '97 when we were runners up, the League table does not lie!

But didn't come over here with a huge reputation

No criteria set for the assessment. If you saw that first 13 when Fulham started and got hooked then that team might be the best team ever. Could be any other selection. Chris Wilkinson, Shaun Hoare, Adrian Cambriani, Ian Van Bellan, Roy Leslie, Mark Riley or Tim Dwyer.

SET who would you go for?

On one of my anniversaries of watching the club I posted my favourite team (20th, 21st or 25th - can't remember which). I have had a cursory glance through the records but can't find it. I am almost certain that it won't have changed in the meantime given what we have been inflicted with in recent times.

My favourite side is easier, however, and that would be the Crusaders team coached by Tony Gordon, who reached the second division premiership final. That was a great season and the team played sparkling rugby. It is incredible to think we had a winger who scored 43 tries in a season and that we had a gameplan that produced such results.

I wonder how that team would compare and compete in the Championship this year?
