Mammal Kingdom Match Day Squad

First topic message reminder :

It's been a while since it was done and I'm bored at work

We're picking a match day squad of 23 from the animal kingdom that are mammals. This means no picking blue whales for the scrum (coz they'd not be effective on land) and you can't cheat by having a bird on the wing to fly over everyone else!

You can only pick one position to fill (to give everyone a chance). If you think you have a better idea for a position already filled, by all means let us know so we can argue about things to pass the time.

Mind it's just a laugh so the fact that some animals don't have hands to catch the ball is irrelevant.

I'll pick one first just to get the ball rolling, but it's going to be a sub just for the giggles.

If he’s good enough he’s big enough.

I know, I know. And we've all heard the arguments about how good he is in the open spaces, but what if there is no space?

Can he do the unseen work?

Only if you are not looking

Haskell (he is a mammal, I think)

He lays eggs

That would make him a monotreme. Which is also a mammal. So he's in.

Haskell is now known as the Duck-billed Platypus!
