Team Of Local Lads
Hey everyone
Just a bit of fun this.
Was asked by a friend to try and come up with a 17 man squad of the best locally born players playing now.
The players needed to be born within the following areas. The areas that were deemed local enough were Pontefract, Featherstone, Normanton and obviously Castleford.
Areas of Wakefield and Leeds were not allowed.
1. Zak Hardaker (Pontefract)
2. Tom Briscoe (Featherstone)
3. Ben Crooks (Pontefract)
4. Michael Shenton (Pontefract)
5. Greg Eden (Castleford)
6. Ben Reynolds (Pontefract)
7. Tom Holmes (Castleford)
8. Liam Watts (Featherstone)
9. Daryl Clark (Castleford)
10. Craig Huby (Pontefract)
11. Danny Kirmond (Featherstone)
12. Oliver Holmes (Castleford)
13. Brett Ferres (Castleford)
14. Danny Addy (Pontefract)
15. Mitch Clark (Pontefract)
16. Ben Westwood (Normanton)
17. Kyle Wood (Castleford)
I faded badly with the bench and I know Zak isn't actually playing this season but my mate allowed that one.
Any improvements? Additions?

Ryan Hampshire Normanton born and bred
Re: Team Of Local Lads
Ben Cockayne Normanton lad. Solid bench option can cover many areas in his prime.
Re: Team Of Local Lads
Perhaps in his prime. He playing at York nowadays? Or has my mind completely made that thought up...InTheKnow wrote:Ben Cockayne Normanton lad. Solid bench option can cover many areas in his prime.
Re: Team Of Local Lads
Would Hampshire improve my half back partnership of Reynolds and Holmes? Or would he push any of Westerman, Clark, Westwood or Wood from their spot on the bench?gateman wrote:Ryan Hampshire Normanton born and bred
