Surely Clark goes in at 9?

This is such a funny idea. Russell will be pleased to be mentioned.. There are so many you could put in.
Des Drummond, Jiffy, Alex Murphy (the best), Brian/John Bevan, Briers & Gleeson & Derek Whitehead.
I reckon you'll never agree a team with this one. Good bit of fun though.

Thought I’d take the opportunity to mentioned players that wouldn’t particularly get into any other team.

That’s only the template, I will be very happy to substitute out someone for a livelier Wire.

Tommy Martyn in the second row for me. Absolutely brilliant hands and a devastating runner with the ball.
Briers in the halves also.

Good point about different players in this category otherwise it could end up 'morphine' into the best team

Kevin Penny made a very lively start and Dufty too.

Kev Penny was a breath of fresh air when he burst onto the scene. As for what happened after that I think we all have our own views and they are unlikely to change now!

i think the Kevin Penny situation was very similar to Wigan with Shaun Ainscough. Pretty sure the coaches sold them down the river, and killed their careers

Ainscough started well at Wigan, scoring some great tries, but then Noble came up with an interview to ground him and publicly said he was crap defensively and under the high ball. the rest they say is history. If i recall Matt King had a field day the following week against us . I cant believe that a coach could publicly give so much against one of his own players, and it literally did finish his Wigan career

Kevin Penny, Jonathan Davies, Iestyn Harris, David Solomona, Chris Sandow, Lee Briers, Martin Gleeson, Richard Henare and Kelly Shelford all worth being picked in this one, granted a lot of these were very brief periods!
