Lockdown XV
-
NBA
1- Shaquille OāNeal - the big diesel needed on the engine room of the right 5
2- Charles Barkley - round mound of whatever we need
3- Moses Malone - hard working power forward
4- Dwight Howard - most athletic big man Iāve ever seen
5- Wilt Chamberlain - Wilt the Stilt, best lock nickname going round
6- Denis Rodman - defensive machine, hardest working guy in the team, does all the little stuff, has that edge. A YC possibility
7- Julius Irving - the Drās long arms and reach will do wonders at the breakdown
8- David Robinson - athletic lineout option and smart
9- John Stockton - looks like a 70s rugby player, best passer
10- Michael Jordan - best player at 1st 5
12- Lebron James - can pass, run, score and happy to do ads for the team
13- Scottie Pippen - defensive stopper
11- Kobe Bryant - flat out scorer and a bit of a hungus
14- Allen Iverson - every team needs a small fast scoring winger
15- Steph Curry - quick and heās the long range goal kicking specialist

@act-crusader Yao Ming, not even a sniff.

Wilt and Dwight are around the 110-120kgs, Yao was 140+, tough on the old lifters, especially when Yao was hardly getting off the ground š

Hopefully their wrestling techniques will help those forwards to lift those two gigantic locks.
Big Show's preferred lifter is apparently John Cena.

I know you you went with big name players, but I'd probably pick someone like Shawn Marion at 7.
Maybe Bill Laimbeer at lock ahead of Dwight, although he's a bit of a card risk.

9 Chris Laidlaw*
10 Ben Couch *

Mandela's highlights on youtube are awesome.
Boris is the least mobile loose forward I've ever seen. Brown is a good pick, he looks like he'd have been a handy dock worker in his youth missing that eye.

I've got the Rock playing 8, and Randy Orton playing 6
Stone Cold Steve Austin was playing 7, but his knees are shot.

He looked unco, unless running into kids counts.

Admittedly most of my guys are from the Golden era of WWE, ie the 80s.
Of more recent ilk Iād have to find a spot for Bautista ( who is also eligible for an action hero XV ), Kevin Nash and Goldberg for sure.
Austin had amazing charisma but I reckon all those others were better in the ring than he was.

Nelson di wear #6 to a RWC victory Yeah Happy to swap out Boris but I was trying to pick a team that had all played rugby. I think Brown was actually a back but I know he lost his eye from a kick in a ruck so he'll do at lock

I thought you'd named the starting lineup of the Sydney Convicts. But that would've been less gay.

What's the selection policy for this team? Ken Gray was a politician but didn't win a seat, but won council seats etc. If you want a proper lock, Arthur Jennings is another AB politician, but in Fiji.
Also, pretty sure Wyllie was an AB, not test capped though.
