Just seen on the Halifax forum that Big Mick is the only Leigh player to make the Championship All Stars team for 2010. The full team was:





royston,campell, nanyn,catic,worrincy, rooney,finn,dickens,cook,hesketh,grayson,doran, dale,





Must say though that there are some strange choices in there. Chris Hill has been overlooked AGAIN this year at prop

Dickens is a great prop but there is no way that Hesketh is anywhere near Hilly this season.



Goulden and Taylor (amongst others) are both better 2nd rowers than Doran.



Surely Kyle Briggs should be in the team as he has been the stand out player in our league this season.



Rooney is only in there because he's a big name because he's been average this season.



And also I would have thought that Ropati or Yere from Sheffield would have claimed a centre spot.



Its not a bad team by any means but there are a lot of improvements that could be made to it.



But anyway well done Nanyn he's frustrating at times but when he shows up he can be devastating (such as when he destroyed widnes...... twice

)

Will bow to their superior knowledge, but I've only missed one game this season (Limoux) and I've yet to see any prop play better than Hilly.

who picks these teams?

Ropati has done well to be in the Sheffield squad this season on some of his performances, Taulapapa is unlucky not to be in, agree with you that Briggs has been better than Rooney

Oh so that's his name a Fax fan on their board yestederday agreed with you about both your centres but thought one was called Mishy Tapioca.

Teams like this always attract criticism from biased twerps like you who believe that your teams players should all be in the XIII. How do you know that Hill has been head and shoulder above Hesketh this season? Have you watched every single Batley game? Its a bit like me saying the Hesketh is miles better than Hill, despite me only having seen three or four games involving Leigh all season.

I don't feel that all Leigh players should be in at all and haven't suggested anything of the sort. In fact if I was picking the team I would not have picked Nanyn in the centres as I feel there are better players around in this league. The only player from the Leigh team that I feel DEFINATELY deserves to be in the squad is Chris Hill. Him and Dickens are (IMO obviously) the best 2 props in this league by a distance and have been for the last few seasons.



There are a few other players in our team who I feel would be in with a shout in various positions but there is only Hill that I feel has been wrongly overlooked. If you would bother to read my post properly you would see I also feel some great players from OTHER teams have also been wrongly overlooked such as Briggs at 'Fev so I wasn't on some purely PRO Leigh rant.



As for me being a 'biased twerp'... I seriously doubt that you would have bothered to moan about my post if I hadn't suggested Hill for a position which was occupied by a Batley player. Hesketh is a great player and has clearly played well to get picked for the squad but (again, IMO) he is not as good a player as Chris Hill who I feel is destined for great things in Super League in the near future.



If it makes you feel better I would have put both briggs and handforth into the team at stand off before rooney

I can only assume JB hasn't seen Hill play.

The worst choice in that team is Rooney. There have been so many better stand offs around this season.



Briggs at Fev

Branighan at Fax

Handforth at Batley

Thackery at Widnes



have all had better seasons that Rooney.

that must be a joke nanyn should definately not be in there hill should lee doran is shocking & rooney??!! Branighan & Briggs have been ten times better than him this year

Also well done to Andy Hobson for making the CC1 All Star team

Well done Mick Nanyn and Hobbo.
