Masella was tough as teak. Very under rated. Not sure how anyone can't rate glanville

And last but not least, to all those people who wrote this team off. To all those people who critisized this team...tonight's for you. K. Sinfield, GF 2011:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45465.jpg



Kylie for me. Has been a rock of consistency in our weakest position. It's easy for people to pick the flashy players but my vote is for a workhorse.

Ali is without a doubt or best overseas signing. He was however what I call a luxury player.
Cutherbtson seems to have the skills of ali but also a massive workrate. Based on this I think if he stocks around for some time he has potential to be up their

Up their what?

Back on topic, I wonder if in a few years we may be including Joel Moon in our overseas pantheon?
Now filling (in a different fashion) the massive hole left when Senior retired. He's now doing it so well that we no longer hark back to those days.
Prior to superleague I was always a big fan of Craig Izzard.

Ali was the most entertaining player, but for pure rugby skills Buderus was different gravy.

"The Golden Generation finally has its Golden Fleece! They have Wembley Cup Final winners medals to add to their collection." 23/08/2014:



In any debate about best ever signing/player/team.....for me the key thing is longivity. When people talk about the best Super League XIII ever, I can't even consider Jamie Lyon because he only played two years (even thought they were two great years). Similar to this, longivity means Ali Lauitiiti wins hands downs.

Apart from that day he got it all wrong with Neil Cowie. Ouch.

Out before he hit the grass.

Cowie's running style was unorthodox, troublesome to tackle, with his leaning in style of running.

Senior was every bit as good as Lyon. Lyon's first season, 2005, Senior was unplayable until Joe Vagana sat on his ankle. The impact on Leeds season was catastrophic - that's how good Senior was. We would have won everything that year if he hadn't picked up that injury.
My fondest memory of Lyon was the CC semi final when Hull did a real number on him in the mud and rain. I thought Saints got more out of Albert.

Albert, God I hated that guy, always seemed to score against us. A bit of the Scott Donalds about him..who as it goes turned out to be a very decent signing once he settled. That try at the GF where he left Wellens like he was running through quicksand will live long in the memory.

Woooh there Nelly...Jamie Lyon, notwithstanding the duration criteria bias.

If we're ignoring longevity then the best overseas signing I've seen in SL was Andrew Johns.
