Like many before I never saw Lewis Jones so for me John Holmes has to be the best individual half back I've seen.

Back in the day we were fortunate to have a great partnership in Seabourne and Shoebottom and a decent partnership in Hepworth and Hardisty.

I think we have been blessed with many very good outside halves over the years but it's hard to think of a really top class pairing in recent history although on reflection Burrow and Maguire weren't too shabby when both were at their best.

Quote: Fallon "I'm never great at remembering dates like some on here but Sinny was our 6 for at least the last 5 years of his career and it's no coincidence how successful we were for me.

Whether that was his best position, or the best position for the team is a different debate.

Like I say, 'best' is hard to define but for me based on players I have watched live over a reasonable period Sinny made the biggest and most consistent contribution as a 6.'"



he played 6 in the 2004 grand final so has alternated between both roles

Harris, then Lewis Jones. Harris just has edge because he was better defensively. Mick Shoebottom was a class act. Mags??? Are you kidding? He was a superb poacher/finisher in his prime, but once age/injuries took their toll he lost his edge (and he ain't no organiser). Schoey is a legend too.

He did it for GB though.

Absolutely - and is one of the very few British players the Aussies have genuinely feared in all my time watching the game. That's probably helped by the fact he ripped it up down there during his spells with Balmain (and latterly Wests). He was the top try scorer in the Aussie comp one of the years he went down there and did a stint.

Infact, I'm not sure I can think of any British back who's had an impact playing down under since Schoey.
