Graham Idle.

I agree that he disgraced the shirt but as isaid i picked the team on playing ability and in his first few games when we saw the real Tronc he was simply the best prop i have seen in a Trin shirt.

Nigel Bell, first name on the sheet for me.



Bill Ashurst , second on the sheet ( most gifted player I have ever seen in the red white and blue )



Trevor Skeritt



Lampkowski Toppo and Keith Smith would get a game



Used to love watching Paul Round as well



As a young lad my favourite player was Big George Ballantyne



Steve Ella , Ray Price Gareth Ellis all in with a chance

Holland



Tadulala

Ellis

Domic

Hughes



Paul

Brough



Massella

Hudson

Snitch

Solomona

Poching

Jackson

Me too!

I have to say shocked to see Tronc get a mention on this thread.

Alot of people are but you must admit that in those first 5 or 6 games he was the best prop we have had since 2000 and i am willing to argue with anybody who dissagrees with me on that.



Yes i know he spat his dummy out but as i put on my original post, i based my judgement on playing ability alone.

While I agree he did show early promise once he decided he did not want to be there his performances really dropped off which left a real sour taste in my mouth and I am not an out and out trinity fan.

I've watched Trin since the early/mid-80's and maybe struggle to recall a full team. However for me, based on what I've seen then I'd certainly include Nigel Bell, Billy Conway, Ray Price, Wally Lewis and Toppo.

I'd agree with you; he was superb when he came to us and one of the reasons we had such a great start to the season - continued to top some of the stats for yards and offloads for months after he'd left.



His departure did leave a sour taste, but since we don't know excatly why he spat the dummy, I'm disinclined to completely condemn him.

Pffft... tricky. I started watching Trin in the early 90's as a proper young 'un. Here's a quick list of players that stick out from the various major phases of the club since then. Wittling down to 13 and including the greats of Parkin, Toppo, the Foxes et al is going to be tough...



Early days of watching Trin; Spencer, Mason, Wilson, Bagnall, Wright, Paul, Fritz, G Price, Kelly, Belly, Thomson, B Conway, M Conway, Slater, Jackson (out of interest does anyone remember or liked Benson or Goddard? I remember I had an irrational hatred of them for some reason, but can't remember why...)

1st Div; Casey, Stephenson, Southernwood, Lord, Holland

Early SL; the Marches, Poching, Law, Fisher

McNally era; Solo, Tadulala, Domic, Ellis, Korki, BJ, JD

Kear era; Brough, Watene, Moore, Fox, Rooney, Elima



...off the top of my head, there's more I'm sure

My choices from players I have seen play:

1. Martyn Holland

2. Peter Fox

3. Andy Mason

4. Sid Domic

5. Semi Tadulala

6. Nigel Wright

7. Danny Brough

8. Jonny T

9. Nigel Bell

10. Darren Fritz

11. Willie Poching

12. David Solomona

13. Gareth Ellis



Unlucky to miss out were:

Gary Spencer

Andy Kelly

Paul Round

Henry Paul

Michael Jackson
