This seems to be a bit of theme around RLFANS at the moment so let's climb onto the bandwagon!

Who do you think were the best and worst players to wear the black and amber from 2000-2009?

Feel free to split it down to positions, or backs and forwards if you're struggling to pick just one.

Worst player to wear the shirt this decade is going to be a tough choice, with most of the 2004 squad to choose from …

Can't argue with that, they were pretty dire. Speaking of which Luke Dyer was terrible, as was Matt Whitaker and we didn't get them until 2006.

Quote: tb "and best best player has got to be shenton for my money.'"

That's actually a really good shout, especially when you take his loyalty into account. The same could be said of Huby although I don't think he began to show his true potential until 2009.

Can't help thinking it's a bit harsh on Paul Franze.

My vote on the worst would go to Craig Greenhill as he arrived with a lot of expectation and a big reputation, "played" significantly more games and was paid significantly more money.

Davis and Shenton both good shouts for the best.

Knuckles? Newlove?


Miffy, though, manages an honourable mention in both categories, imo

I can't actually think of a bad hooker we've had really, and I can't think of many good or bad wingers, just really average ones...
