Best non English players : Wed Jan 17, 2024 12:10 pm  
We get so many overseas players that it got me wondering who is the best player we have ever had from each country. I'll start the ball rolling;

Wales Berwyn Jones
Scotland Rob Valentine
Ireland Scott Grix
France Oliver Elima
Greece Steve Georgalis
S Africa Gert Coetzer
New Zealand Henry Paul
Australia Ray Price
Samoa Dave Solomona
Tonga David Fafita
Cook Islands Tinirau Arona

I may have missed some countries off but these players have all given great excitement and pleasure watching the Trin.

I accept that Grix/Brough/Finn and Mason qualified to play for other national team, but they are most definitely English :thumb:

I'd be pushed to say he was even the best from Malta even if he is the only one,1315, especially if based on his Trinity record.
