Newcastle name Team of Century
February 09, 2008 NEWCASTLE Rugby League have named a Team of the Century, with Souths legend John Sattler only given a bench role.
The team is comprised entirely of internationals with former Test skipper and Knights great Andrew Johns overlooked as captain in favour of Wally Prigg.
Players under consideration for the side had to have played both junior and senior football in Newcastle.
The immortal Clive Churchill was named at fullback of the side that contained three Knights: Johns, starting front-rower Paul Harragon and Matthew Gidley, who was named on the bench.

The side is dominated by players from the 1930s through to the 1960s, a period in which Newcastle produced 40 of its 60 internationals.
