Dunno if this one has been put out there before, but I just wanted to put forward a Sharks side made up of purely overseas players. Here goes:

Fullback: Dave Watson (NZ)
Winger: Eion Crossan (NZ)
Centre: Richie Barnett (NZ)
Centre: Alan Bateman (Wales)
Winger:
5/8
Halfback: Tommy Bishop (GB)
Lock: Tawera Nikau (NZ)
2nd Rower: Kurt Sorenson (NZ)
2nd Rower:
Front Rower: Cliff Watson (NZ)
Hooker: Brian Noble (GB)
Front Rower: Dane Sorenson (NZ)

If anyone else has got any other names to throw in, especially a winger, 5/8 and 2nd rower, please feel free.

Its all the Capn's bid. I blew all my spare card money the other year on a Limmo Card.

Someprick on ebay called Shirespider kept upping the bid, but I finally got the better of him.

Anyhow, bottom line, no money left for bob card.

I know that NZ maintains unhealthily close links with old blighty but surely Cliff Watson was a St. Helens pommie?

Yep, that's him on the right being separated from Aussie Jim Morgan by Keith Hepworth ... 1970 Battle of Brisbane.
