My Best 17 British Players

My Starting 13

1.Kris Radlinski
Kris is my choice of full back due to his performance and he is skills and he passion of the game but his best performance iv seen was in the 2002 challenge cup final which he took home the Lance Todd trophy! which he was on his hospital bed leading up to the final.

2.Jason Robinson
Jason was one of the best winger for his size, he could unlock the defence of a side which he used to his ability and scored one of the best tries in a grand final which he is know as Billy Whizz.He left to join union from Wigan but he did leave a ton of memories in the game.

3.Keith Senior
Keith has played in every round of super league which is great for a guy of his ability, he has broke records since he joined Leeds rhinos from the Sheffield eagles in 1999 a year after winning the challenge cup which is know as the greatest upset in a final. Keith also sold his medals on eBay legend!

4.Gary Connolly
Lager had a great career starting off at Saints and went to Wigan and then Leeds also back to wigan in 2004 where he stopped playing, he won everything in the game, played some of his great rugby in the centre.

5.Francis Cummins
Franny played 356 games in his career and he spent it all one club Leeds which spammed from 1993-2005 when Franny retired he won the challenge cup in 1999 and also a super league winners medal in 2004.


6.Lee Briers
Lee is because he would lead the side and i think him and my scrum half would make a great partnership if they ever played together but i like Lee and he has do never do something which i think he should of played for GB more! Also a lance Todd trophy winner! shame he only won two trophies in his career so far

7.Sean Long
Long is in my side because he is a great 7 and would fit into my side and lead them around with lee and he has won everything from man of steel to Lance Todd trophy three times the only guy to!.

8.Terry O'Connor
Tez was guy who would run his blood to water for his and won everything while at wigan but his friendship with another prop in my side has made him a great guy but also he was a great prop and he did beat Aussies  in 2001 in Huddersfield.

9.Terry Newton  (RIP)
Terry is in my side because he was another guy who never took a backwards step and was a fitness freak but the guy was the softest guy of the pitch but ill give him credit he did knock out Gilmour of saints which i did like him for! RIP Tez




10.Barrie Mcdermott
Barrie was a great prop he took Leeds forward and got his reward in 2004 but he has the record for the quickest sending off in oldham's history and my best mates grandma pricey's BTW is still gonna kill haha also he won the regal trophy and championship at Wigan also went on tour with barla and played in Australia.

11.Adrian Morley
Mozza played second row at leeds before he went to sydney, great guy also a catholic like Barrie, he was only english man to win both NRL and Super League.He was sent off 12 seconds in a ashes test in 2003.

12. Andy Farrell
Faz was the youngest Great Britain captain in history also won everything in his career with Wigan. Made his debut at 17 in 1993 and made his Great Britain debut in November 1993, He once played with a broken nose against Leeds and he won the game for them.

13. Paul Sculthorpe
Scully played at Warrington and Saints also was captain of Great Britain, was Man of Steel twice in two years also won everything in his career and he is a oldham lad.


The Bench

14. Jamie Peacock
Jp has won everything and great player who also had a loan spell at Featherstone. Also knocked down Wille Mason!


15. Keiron Cunningham
Kez was a great hooker would score from dummy half  9 times of 10 also great thinker with the ball also great leader!

16. Gareth Ellis
Chinny has played at the highest level in Uk and Oz but he played at wakey also but he got voted the greatest player in Oz in his first season there so i would pick Chinny!

17. Steve Prescott
Steve would be my centre or full back sub due to his fast speed and great brain while having the ball.


Coach
Malcolm Reilly
Karl Harrison
two top great british coaches

Super League- Franchise Part Two

Part Two!

Salford City Reds
Another team in the league i would have due to the fact them and saints are only two clubs to get a new ground but also they have chance to bring young kids through the system.






St Helens
Saints have always been in super league also why would you kick them out after not missing a grand final since 2005 and they won the challenge cup three times also they are due to move from there shared ground of widnes to Their new home next season hopefully.



Wakefield Wildcats
As i have said before we need Cas and Wakey in the super league,they bring english kids through there system and have given other kids from other clubs chances to play first team rugby also finshed in the top 8 in 2009,  they might not have a ground but there ownership and ground and everything down at belle vue is going very well and its down to people who deserve credit such as Jimmy Elston and Davide Longo who are great people aswell as new owner Andrew Glover but it's also down to Jimmy's wife Sarah and the Community team which are in the top three of super League, also their Junior Development can't be bad after signing another six Under 18's on and three under 20's signing first teams deals so i think we need to the wildcats in the league as they Together we are stronger Together we are Wakefield.



Warrington Wolves
Another team in after a great season last year winning the challenge cup and finishing in the top eight.
They are due to win the super league so point in the next few years due to a great bunch of youngsters also they will welcome the local derbies with the vikings the only team that knows to be in super league.
.

Wigan Warriors
Another team to be in the super league come 2012 thanks to a great ground and a great team who won the league last year but the next few years they should be up there like the early 1990's thanks to youngsters such as the tomkins brothers and dom crosby and josh charnley also paul deacon is back at his hometown club after been at bradford!.



Thanks for reading and lets hope all teams get their chance in super league in 2012.

Super League- Franchise Part one

Tomorrow See's the start of planning hard started in 2008 after the last licence bid many of the 14 clubs will see their bid been successful but i am going tell you about the last two season the ups also downs and who will be successful in tomorrow's bid.

Bradford Bulls
The Bulls have got a successful bid but their form in the last two season has seen them finish ninth and tenth in super league which means's they failed to finish in the top eight despite signing a few big names such as Matt Orford,Glen Hall and Steve Menzies but they started strongly winning 3 out 3 but they lost their last two before winning and drawing at Headingley also beating Harlequins but the way the finished their lost 12 leagues between May and August beating Wakefield twice was there only wins in 14 matches. I think they stay in super league and expect a different Bradford Bulls in 2012 with some great youngesters coming through.

Castleford Tigers
I think we need both the Tigers and the Wildcats in Super League from 2012. Castleford have had their best three years in super league bringing through some great youngster's also bringing the class back to Cas, but over the last two season they have finished eighth and ninth and there 80 minutes from Wembley this season. There young development is down to Steve Gill who has signed three England academy players in Daryl Clark,Adam Milner and Jordan Thompson but he has signed players from other clubs who are British born and they have put experience with youth. I have said Cas need to be in Super League.

Crusaders
I think having a Welsh side in Super league has been a joke expect from last season when Noble was coach they did have a decent season but the RFL will keep them in super league because it expansion.

 Catalans
I think Catalans deserve to been in super league due their home support they get 12,000 each week without away support also they might not bring away support but their play is worth admission price alone they have won the super league try of the month a few times this season.


Harlequins
I think Harlequins will drop out to bring back the London Broncos to the Championship but they will  also bring a lot of London or English youngster through now.





Leeds Rhinos
I think Leeds are in and will never drop out but the next three years Leeds need to bring the youngsters through to replace Sinfield McGuire and burrow but let them help the kids. I think the likes of young Stevie Ward,Liam Hood and Brad Singleton will replace Peacock,Sinfield and Burrow in the years to come.


Huddersfield Giants
I think there are due the fact they won the club of the year in 2009 and haven't been out of the top eight and have made a trip to Wembley in 2009 but the future at the giants has been good one but it's up the coach Nathan Brown to keep it that way.

Hull Fc
Another club to be let is one of the humberside teams in the black and whites,who have featured in the last seasons play offs also they have a great home support.


Halifax Blue Sox
I think Halifax should be after winning last years championship they deserve there shot after winning the grand final and they have a decent ground and hopefully Brian Noble will become coach their and not Karl Harrison after people have put his in the bag after Matt Calland shock leave.



Hull Kr
Another team from Humberside who deserve to be after finishing in last years top eight also have been a great side since promotion in 2006 which its down to owner and coach of Neil Hudgell and Justin Morgan. I think after this season next season will kick start Hull Kr.
