I think Id have Malcolm Price in for Calland and really need to find room for Alan Hodkinson. Both played for great britain so were elite level players. Perhaps we could increase the subs bench to 4 Other notable ommissions who probably deserve consideration, frank Myler, bill Holliday, John Woods, Graham Starkey Apasai Toga. The first three were at the end of their careers but were still class players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 I did not want to include the club nominated players -like Alan Hodgkinson /Frank myler etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornetto Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I did not want to include the club nominated players -like Alan Hodgkinson /Frank myler etc The players in the Heroes XIII were nominated/voted by supporters, not the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your alternate team would take some beating for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excolt Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 As lot of supporters, and armchair and attendants think the Heroes of Hornets was the best all time team. Perhaps the club should have the Hornets best team to stop all the bickering and missunderstanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Collector Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Here is my alternative team with out using any of the Heros team. 1. Kevin Harcombe 2. Henderson Gill 3. Matt Calland 4. Mark Nixon 5. Norman Brelsford 6. John Woods 7. Phil Bancroft 8. Bill Holliday 9. Phil McKenzie 10. Neil Cowie 11. Terry Fogarty 12. Bill Sheffield 13. Tony Halmshaw Coach Kel Coslett. All Subjective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Apesi Toga and Frank Myler would probably be my first two names on the team sheet in the pack and three quarters respectively We've had some great players over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Collector Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Apesi Toga and Frank Myler would probably be my first two names on the team sheet in the pack and three quarters respectively We've had some great players over the years. I would wholeheartedly agree with those two players but as I selected players who were NOT in The Heroes Team I obviously couldn't select them. There are more great players missing from my list such as Martin Hall Martin Strett Danny Sculthope Mick Baxter Andy Sullivan Dean Longeran Johnny Noon etc but in the end it's a personel choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornetto Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 What is it with John Woods? One season and bottled a kick in the premiership playoffs that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I like the looks of Ian's team. Here are my suggestions 1 Paul Owen 2 Henderson Gill 3 Tom Brophy 4 Matt Calland 5 Trevor Simms 6 John Butler 7 John Fishwick 8 Bill Hanson 9 Phil Mckenzie or Peter Clarke if old style scrums 10 Bill Holliday 11 Bill Sheffield 12 Wally Jones 13 Alan Robinson Subs from Joe Chamberlain, Mick Baxter, Peter Gartland, Jim Parr.

Snoopy Loopy Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 What is it with John Woods? One season and bottled a kick in the premiership playoffs that year. As mentioned, its all subjective and open to opinion - stop trying to force yours on people Moments of individual brilliance and ability which not all other players are capable of, qualify sometimes as "the best to have played for" etc. this is same in any sport - Bobbie Goulding would come into this arena but obviously not played as many games as someone like Paul Crook which brings in the argument of when does length of service outweigh quality Ive heard so many people speak negatively about the Heros of Hornets since it was picked including ex players and also players selected who are embarrassed they were selected ahead of some genuine certainties that were overlooked. Maybe its time to put it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormskirknet Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 The players in the Heroes XIII were nominated/voted by supporters, not the club. John woods was almost single handidly responsible for us getting promotion that season, however you are right about that kick in the Dewsbury game, he appeared to bottle it and chuck the ball to Ticker who had barely just stepped on the pitch The bloke was pure class and had dropped down from the old 1st divison despite his advancing years. I reckon we would have won more than one game in Div 1 if he had stayed with us. We have all seen many good players in the past in the red white and blue, but for me John Woods was head and shoulders above anything I've seen before or since even just for one season. Its a totally personal opinion of course I think the Hero's of Hornets XIII has been a massive success, agree or disagree with the selection its certainly got us all talking about the greatest club playing the best sport in the world.................. Rochdale Hornets RLFC. And that cant be a bad thing can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
