A really tough call leaving out Mad Dog. The back row has a lot of great options though with Kronfield another noticeable absentee.
Goode might not come up on many of these team sheets but whilst being a prize WUM and pantomime villain at times he was a vital cog in many trophy winning sides. He still has the most consistent restarts I've seen in terms of accuracy and sheer height he put on the ball - kickoffs aren't called the third set-piece for nothing.

Re: BEST FIFTEEN.
No apologies needed. This is great, though very difficult, it may take me some months even to choose full back.Dangerous4 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 6:21 pm Apologies if this has been done before.
Based on the players you have actually watched play, which would be your best fifteen?
Obviously a great deal would depend upon your age, so there should be a fair amount of variation.

Re: BEST FIFTEEN.
Sticking to players that I have watched live from the stands (basically from 2003 onwards when I was mid-teens, showing my age is a lot younger that some on here ):
15. Murphy
14. A. Tuilagi
13. Rabeni
12. Gibson
11. Agulla
10. Goode
9. Dupuy (just for that try!)
1. Rowntree
2. Kayser
3. Castro/White (couldn't decide!)
4. Johnson
5. Cullen
6. Corry
7. Jennings (bit of a left-field choice but was always a big fan of his!)
8. H. Tuilagi
There's a couple of players in there that had relatively short stints with the club, but I was sad to see them leave.

Barry Evans eh? He would be my second choice. He was quite a player, and oh boy, could he run. Loved the guy.

Re: BEST FIFTEEN.
Very sorry but I cannot see the point of this thread, here we are in 9th place, out of Europe, Manu possibly leaving, loads of possible signings, 6 Nations and all this thread is about selecting some fantasy "has been" team that cannot do anything to improve our situation. Surely at best, this is a thread for the closed season when there is nowt else to discuss?
