Jowitt hasn't even proved himself to be the best in our current team yet.

For me he has, just as a youngster he makes a number of rookie errors/poor decisions as opposed to being a seasoned veteran and making much worse ones.

But this isn’t Jowitt vs Grix, this is Wakefield’s best - Blaymire for me or even Richie Mathers would come before Jowitt.

Tim Smith is one of the best players I’ve seen in a trinity shirt, just happens to be a clown off the field.

When he felt like it which wasn’t often enough.

I think we've yet to have a really tallented fb spend his career with us is the same breath as JD or kirmomd so it's a hard one to pick

Matty Holland should have been that player but injuries wrecked his career.

True, but then PopTart made a direct comparison between the two. Mathers though?! He mastered the art at arriving just in time to avoid making a tackle.

I would also agree with Vasty and Martin Holland. He was class, but injuries robbed him of a decent career.

Re: Would you change any? : Sun Sep 16, 2018 8:44 am  

Mathers are you joking lol.

The Mathers who caused us to be in the record books for fastest try conceded by bottling a carry at fev, or the one who booted dead at salford from 20m out when chasing the game rather than put his body on the line. Or is it the one who threw the ball to the injured Dean collis at magic weekend rather than take a tough carry. Biggest waste of a shirt ever, makes grix look like Billy Slater.

Agree with Blaymire as best sl era fullback BTW.

Blaymire
Johnstone
Tupou
Atkins - Domic was good, but only really has one full year with us.
BJB
Miller
Brough
Fifita
Aiton
Amor
Solomona
Kirmo
JD
Obst
Lautiti
Watene
England - Never really got the love of Korky. For me, he was a penalty machine, who could never seem to keep hold of the ball in contact.

Agree that Tim Smith was quality, but very inconsistent. Because of this, and if you want consistency, then I would put several half backs in before him.

There are a few of the current team who are very close now, such as Lyne, Ashurst, Wood and Hampshire. Maybe, continued improvement, then this all time SL Team could be different again in a year or so.

I guess I'm working on the original vote stands unless you chance someone who has played since 2014.

One of the things that makes a difference is that we have a team now.
If Domic or Rooney had played in this team they'd have been lauded at the club.
Even Topliss was not regarded as highly as he should have been until he got to Hull. He was class but they still picked Hughes and Woods in front of him for GB.

I would pick shaggy over Blaymire to be honest.
