ST HELENS Star readers have been voting for their best team of the Super League era.

So far you have selected Paul Wellens; Darren Albert, Jamie Lyon, Paul Newlove, Anthony Sullivan; Tommy Martyn, Sean Long; with a pack of James Graham, Apollo Perelini, Chris Joynt and Sia Soliola.

Now we would like you to pick the hooker.

It is a straight choice between two number nines with contrasting styles.

Keiron Cunningham burst into the team as a teenager and he was a key component of the double winning team of 1996. He scored a try in the Wembley comeback win over Bradford in 1996, but that was only the start of it.

With the ball his delivery and decision making from dummy half was world class.

Cunningham also possessed brute strength to power through defenders and scored many of his 175 tries by bustling through from close range.

Defensively he had the ability to get off his line and smash ball carriers with utmost force.

He was one of the team's driving forces, and up to his retirement as a player featured in every single Saints trophy success in the summer era.

He helped Saints win seven Challenge Cups, five Super Leagues and two World Club Challenge Trophies.

James Roby was Cunningham’s understudy when he displaced Micky Higham and became a regular under Daniel Anderson from 2005.

But his contrasting style soon had defences bamboozled, with his pace and eye for the gap being hard for tiring defences to handle.

Roby was part of the team that won the lot in 2006 and added to his haul the following year.

2007 was a good year for the former Blackbrook junior, scoring the first ever try at the new Wembley with a move that he could not have choreographed any better.

He added the Man of Steel Award to his second Challenge Cup winners medal and made it three the following year.

He took on the number 9 shirt when Cunningham retired as a player and soon established himself as a rare 80-minute hooker.

With a work rate second to none, shown by an ability to keep making the tackles, Roby has helped Saints get through some sticky spells following the departure of some giants of the club.

Roby was a key component of the team which won the League Leaders Shield and Grand Final in 2014.
