Care to narrow it down at all, comp, opposition that kind of thing?



The chances sound a little far-fetched at a club who over the course of the season have fielded combinations of: Motu Tony, Michael Korkidas, Julien Rinaldi, Kevin Henderson, Ben Jeffries, Glenn Morrison, Semi Tadulala, Jeremy Smith and Ryan Tongia.



Well done to Wakefield if it happened but I'll wait for the evidence first if it's all the same to you.

Looks a pretty good team this, as did the Saints team on the weekend!!! Infact im sure Leeds Saints Wigan and Warringon could all field a decent all britsh team and still compete at good level in Super league....makes you wonder why we need overseas players when the talents already in our squads?

I know the year i specified wasn't mentioned in the original post but the comment "How many SL champions can say all their GF points have been scored by products of the academy" wasn't strictly true as we won the GF in 2007 and 3 non academy players scored.



Anyway, still a very impressive stat that 3 of our GF final wins had only academy scorers

It was mid season, I'll try and dig it out

Depends whether you read Champions in the singular ie that season's Champions or as a collective term covering one club but several Championships. The fact the extract of the post you quoted concluded with 'I think it's just us and possibly Wigan in 1998?' led me to apply the former interpretation.



It's not a biggie and I'm fairly sure not many Leeds fans could forget the 2007 GF nor who opened the Leeds try account or who lifted Leeds after his introduction from the bench or who scored one of the greatest SL GF tries that even had Coach Smith on his feet pumping the air with delight.







Doesn't really matter beyond it being a bar-room talking point for nerds and their record books in games where all members of the team (whatever their origins) contributed.

I must admit I looked through the SL Regular Rounds earlier and didn't spot it.



Wakefield also played at Doncaster in the CC 4th Round (had 3 non Brits playing) before going out in Golden Point Extra Time at home to Castleford in the 5th Round with 4 non Brits.



Fair play to you if you find it.

I did fairly deliberately specify the years in the post.



Perhaps I could have worded it better. Point stands though.

Let's not get all misty-eyed over Saints "achievement" in fielding an all British 17.



It's hardly like it was done out of choice.

Throughout the season wakey have fielded teams of 14/15/16 british players.



Struggling to find the full 17 but sure it was discussed on our board months ago.



Fielding so many young Uk players we have fallen lucky with the likes of Johnson, Moriano and Wildie/Davey.



Others have been ok but have struggled.. Vievers, Hyde, Gledhill.



We have been forced to playing so many this year. If we hadn't had all the disruption I doubt whether we would have seen so many young Uk lads out there. At times it was men vs boys but they put it in still.

No, His Highness Lord Gary Lager of Carlsberg and his 2003 Lance Todd is the exception.

Easily can be done next season and still be competitive.

Senior?

Has Gary H said anything about other signings for 2012 after Griffin?

Just a rumour regarding a slightly receding former international centre.
