Asotasi (on his form with us) might not make this pack any better, but I can think of a few Wire forwards of the past who were not universally loved by our fans at the time, who I would definitely take in the current pack: Sims, Rauhihi, Hilton.

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

The only question I can think of to which “Craig Teitzel” is the answer is “what do you call your pet plank”.

On a similar theme....2002 was probably our worst ever season, but how many of the players from that side would we take in the current team?

I would say 7, which is a pretty high proportion considering how bad we were!

Fozzard, Hilton, Paul Wood, Burns and Domic would all get in our pack, I'd also take both Briers and Nat Wood ahead of Patton and Austin. I think Austin is a more talented player than Nat Wood but Nat Wood could be relied on more to raise his game and lift the team when it mattered.

Hilton was in the top 3 worst props I have ever seen in warrington colours and Ive watched since the mid 80s. Before anyone says he was better than teitzel,...............he wasnt!

Really? I mean really?????? Hilton was certainly no Les Boyd but he never let anyone down and he doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a worse anything list.

Off the top of my head, Warren Stevens, Salesi Finau, Dale Laughton, Matt Sturm, George Mann and Mark Jones were not only vastly less committed than Mark but also gave the club considerably less value for.money.

You're kidding right.
Hilton copped some injuries over his time but he was a dependable solid slog prop.

Finau was a centre, George mann was a second row. Oh, and the others were all better!
