how did I manage not to mention Ellis. At his best for us he was fantastic - then he got better at Leeds

I was at primary school when I saw Lewis and TBH remember little of it. I think based on the weaknesses of our squad, it would be a pcak man - one from Price (R), Solo, Pochin or Fritz.

Just for fun though I would love to see a young Nigel Wright (Yorkshire Cup final vintage) playing outside of Broughy. If you would indulge me enough to pair Atkins with a young Alan Hunte in the centres I'd be most obliged also

Nigel Wright and Danny Brough would be a halfback pairing to match just about any you could mention.

So much creativity it would tear holes in anyones defence.

I know I have already chosen (Wally Lewis) earlier, but given our current problems in the back row, I had hoped someone might pick Bill Ashurst, who was the equal of Solo in ball-handling but was quicker, sharper and stronger (before his knees went )

no contest on that one Ashurst was the real deal he is the best 2nd row forward i ever saw Solomona is a good player but he could not lace Bills boots

the player i would have back in this moden era would be Mike Lampowski at lose forward

I could count a number of really great players from legends like Neil Fox and Toppo (never saw Wally Lewis play for us), but I'm going to go for Trevor Skerrett. A real powerhouse prop forward. The number of times he blasted holes through the defence must have given his team mates a massive lift, and really got the crowd going. Great fun to watch, great player. Come back Trev!

Mike Lampkowski and Bill Ashurst

Trevor Skerritt

the best front rower I have ever seen at Wakefield, and up there with Andy Platt and Kevin Ward

I'd swap em all to have Adam Watene back. Just hope the boys do him proud on Sunday.

Decent shout. Ten yards everytime and did his share of the tackling
