Nails Worthington was only ever the back pocket for the resting ruckman, the elite Full Back for that period was Peter McCormack who came to us as a star junior Full Forward but became such a feared Full Back that the great Full Forwards of the day named him as their most difficult opponent, Clifton and Cooper not far behind. Also from this period Andrew Ireland was elite.. Robert Hyde only had one elite season winning the Copeland in our Wooden spoon year.. You can't have McKenna without Price and 3 rucks is too top heavy so Monky goes.. Wearmouth and Barham the kind of speed and X factor we haven't seen in decades and Tuddy over Chocko a no brainer so the side should look like this

FB Magro McCormack Morwood
HB McGuane Picken Ireland
C Millane Price Barham
HF Dunne Carman Greening
FF Moore McKenna Daicos

R Thompson W Richardson Wearmouth


Int Tuddenham G Brown A Shaw R Shaw


Coach: Tom Hafey

Becoming a nice looking side.
i have to nominate m.taylor for stan's BP position.

Also would have Chocco ahead of many of the named smalls.[/quote]

same question to you CarringbushCigar

Would either of these boys make the team of the most recent half century?
If so who would they push out?

[Bolsheviki]

1970-1993

B. Magro, Pert, Morwood

HB. McGuane, Picken, Crosisca

C. Millaine, Price, Brown

HF. Greening, Carmen, Daicos

FWD. Moore, McKenna, Russell

R. Thompson, Tuddy, Francis

INTER. W. Richardson, A. Shaw, Wright, Dunne

1994-2014

C. Thomas, Buckley, P.Williams

HF. Didak, A. Rocca, Tarrant

F. Krakouer, Cloke, Davis

INTER O'Brien, Ball, Maxwell, Licuria

Only certainties in the combined team would probably be -1970/94 Millaine, Brown, Greening, Daicos, McKenna, Thommo, and Tuddy, while from the second era it would have to include Bucks, Swanny, and Pendles. The rest take your pick..........

[uncanny]

yes Rude Boy
Tuddy was a great leader and his treatment by the club along with big Len and a few other cost us big time.
However...
He was only captain in 1976 in the time of selection so I can't go past Bucks.

Uncanny, having watched and seen play all the players in both era's I found myself hard pressed to leave people out, but if your going to pick the best 22 in my view your not far wrong. John Greening was to good to leave on the bench. In fact he is close to the best player on the list. Imagine this team running out to play round 1!

Has Pendles really done enough to deserve a place?
