Super League greatest XIII: Vote for your best ever side with Kevin Sinfield, James Roby, Rob Burrow, Sam Tomkins up for spots

There is one question that every fan of Super League loves to debate as it divides, it unites, it causes intense conversations: What is the greatest Super League XIII.

With Super League's 30th birthday around the corner, we thought we would give you a little present - the chance to answer that question once and for all.

We have whittled down each position to five candidates to be included in Your Site' greatest ever Super League XIII, which you can vote for until March 23.

Then, on the competition's birthday weekend, we will unveil just who YOU have decided is the cream of the crop.

Get voting! There is some seriously tough competition in each and every spot...

I mean, talk about starting off strong! Whether you prefer a defensive full-back, a modern full-back, or something in between, these five have got it all!

Having won every major trophy between them, and a few Man of Steels too, Kris Radlinski, Paul Wellens, Sam Tomkins, Brett Hodgson and Brent Webb offer so much choice, and difference, about who should be that last line of defence or third halfback.

Tough one to call!

If there is one thing these five players can do, it is score tries! Lesley Vainikolo, Ryan Hall, Jason Robinson, Pat Richards and Tommy Makinson have come up with some of the most magic moments in Super League history.

The two wingers with the most votes will be chosen in the greatest Super League 13.

The five players up to be placed in the centres have a mix of power and electrifying skill that never went unnoticed. Shontayne Hape, Keith Senior, Jamie Lyon, Martin Gleeson and Kallum Watkins stood out.

The two centres with the most votes will be chosen in the greatest Super League 13.

One of the key positions on the pitch and for good reason too. It is called the spine for a reason and these five players knew how to lead their team around the field.

I truly do not know who to pick out of Danny McGuire, Henry Paul, Leon Pryce, Bevan French and Lee Briers.

Then the other half of that key partnership. The scrum-half has the eyes of everyone on the field and in the stands. Every single one of these names provided plenty of moments of magic that you can rewatch over and over.

Now you have to pick one of Rob Burrow, Robbie Paul, Bobbie Goulding, Sean Long and Paul Deacon.

I would rather you make the choice than me!

Power, force, steel, grit - just some of the words associated with the five names picked in the position of prop. A ridiculous amount of Super League appearances between then and one has the only Harry Sunderland win for a prop ever (well done, Thompson).

Stuart Fielden, Jamie Peacock, James Graham, Adrian Morley, and Luke Thompson have been the wrecking ball for their teams over the 30 years of this competition and made a name for themselves from it.

The two props with the most votes will be chosen in the greatest Super League 13.

The link between the backs and the forwards. The eyes and ears. The one that can open up the game. The role of hooker is often game breaker, or try stopper, and these five have done that on another level to the rest.

Keiron Cunningham, James Roby, Mickey Higham, James Lowes and Michael McIlorum have stood the test of time.

The hard workers, the engine of a side, it is no wonder that the five names picked for second row have all had long and fruitful careers.

Gareth Ellis, Ben Westwood, Chris Joynt, Lee Gilmour and Liam Farrell have been there, done it all, and two of them will make your greatest XIII.

The two second rowers with the most votes will be chosen in the greatest Super League 13.

Every vote in this list is a hard one but talk about saving potentially the most difficult one to last. Have you ever seen a list of names like it! A ridiculous amount of trophies, both individual and team, between them- these five are all legends of Super League.

Good luck picking one out of Andy Farrell, Paul Sculthorpe, Kevin Sinfield, Sean O'Loughlin and Morgan Knowles.

Your Site will again show every game of the Super League live this season - including two matches in each round exclusively live, with the remaining five matches each week shown on
