- Scott Grix (Huddersfield)
A very smart player who knows the game inside out. Always enjoyed lining up with Grixy.
- Justin Carney (Castleford)
A big wrecking ball of a winger who drove the ball in hard. He was an absolute beast.
- Shaun Kenny-Dowall (Hull KR)
A massive competitor. I’ve been blessed with playing alongside some top centres and SKD was one of the very best.
- Jordan Turner (Hull FC and Oldham
My skipper this season at the Roughyeds and a player I was with at Hull FC. JT carries strong and always leads by example.
- Jermaine McGillvary (Huddersfield)
Another enormous winger and lovely guy. Having Jerry on the wing made my kicking game easier!
- Rangi Chase (Castleford)
What a box of tricks Rangi was. We never knew what he was going to do next because he often didn’t know himself.
- Danny Brough (Huddersfield)
A brilliant kicking game and eye for an opportunity, Broughy was a tremendous game-manager at the top level
- Mose Masoe (Hull KR)
A gentle giant who I lined up alongside at Hull KR. He never took a backward step on or off the field.
- Daryl Clark (Castleford)
One of the best hookers of the Super League era, he has gone on to have the career that his talents deserve.
- Craig Huby (Castleford)
Always nice to have a goal-kicking prop in the team in case I was off my game!
- Jack Hughes (Huddersfield)
Jack Hughes in action for Leigh Leopards in 2024
A very versatile, very underrated player who could shine in pretty much any position on the pitch.
- Weller Hauraki (Castleford and Hull KR)
Another man who could play in the middle or back row. Dependable, strong and clever.
- James Bell (Leigh)
Fantastic ball-playing ability for a forward. Incredible skill-set and a player you can always rely on.
Bench
- Aaron Murphy (Huddersfield)
Very quick and a smart finisher. Could cover full-back, wing or centre.
- Nick Scruton (Hull KR)
A great character off the pitch and someone who would die for you on it.
- Sam Moa (Hull FC)
An absolute battering ram of a forward that I would always want on my team.
- Willie Manu (Hull FC)
Another giant of a man who never took a backward step
