Your favourite team

[Walpole]

Okay, for a change of pace and to combat some of the (much earned) negativity around here, how about coming up with a team of your favourite players of all time.

They don’t have to be the best in their position, just the ones who made you raise to your feet on the hill at Kogarah or yell at the TV.

And for those of you who were on the Illawarra side of things to start with, feel free to include those Steelers legends who made you cheer the loudest. Alan McIndoe and Michael Bolt are people too.

I don’t quite remember Langlands or Billy Smith so my frame of reference is from about 1977 onwards.

2.Ricky Walford
3.Mark Gasnier
4.Matt Cooper
5.Nathan Blacklock
6.Jamie Soward

10.Mick Weyman
11.Rod Reddy

With special mention to the likes of Lance Thompson, Jason Nightingale, Ben Hornby, a couple of other Smiths (Jeremy and Craig) and Robert Stone.
