Best of all time?

Nepia

Guy Ritchie? Ritchie Valens?

Get the GOAT's name correct FFS

Michael

Victor Meldrew

Not knocking Kirky or Rueben. Kirkpatrick, like Meads, took on a team on the slide (not helped by a succession of wonder-coaches who weren't) and Thorne was under-rated as a player and captain.

I just think GH & ~~Ritchie~~ Richie were a cut above.

Had to check that he hadn’t been poached by The Baldies

Well he’s more ranga than some of the suggestions mentioned ( Brad Shields ? What the fuck ? )

Like Dan Cole he proudly qualifies for both teams.

Partnered in the midfield with Tom Shanklin

Who could also represent the baldies

I was referring to David Kirk after the Cavaliers etc not Kirkpatrick, and I don't rate Thorne as a player when he was captain (he was better before and after he was captain) and I don't really rate him as a captain either, I still remember Collins being sent out to face the media after the loss in 2003. Granted, that's mostly on the idiot coach, but GH and Tana had to come in a rebuild the ABs as a "brand" after Mitchell and Thorne.

Still, Richie became a good captain after 2007.

No I’ll put Thomas at fullback instead of Mike Brown. I’m very happy with my midfield.

Shanklin doesn’t make the team. There’s too many Welshmen as it is.

I like how you’ve gone for the controversial extra back for one less forward selection to keep the opposition guessing
