Of the Leeds wingers I've seen there were plenty of top class players but not all excelled in a Leeds jersey. I always thought ET was a good player but didn't he mainly play centre in his first spell? Second spell he wasn't as good. Grothe was very good. Hall is the best of the modern day bunch. Grothe and Hall for me.

Ettingshausen started his first spell as a centre alongside fellow Cronulla team mate Mark McGaw in his first spell in 86/87 but ended up playing the majority of the season at full back.
He did, however, end up on the flanks in his second spell in 88/89.

Oh, and, the Guru was and remains my idol of the game. Could do with his like in the game today.

My wingers would be Grothe and Hall, and by a fair distance. Special mentions to Calderwood, Sterling and Bai.

ET was and still is an idol for me, but I'd have him as my choice for fullback. That bloke had it all, an out and out superstar, including movie star looks - he was definitely man crush material!

Imagine a backline of ET, Grothe, Senior, Innes, Hall, Schofield, Lyons...... You'd score 80 points a game.

Great shout. Loved Lyons and ET, even though they were short stints they left a big mark on my young self too.

A great back line when you can afford to leave 'arguably the second best centre in world Rugby' out of your dream team

Not quite right. He [istarted off[/i on the wing in his second spell. A combination of injury (floating bone in the knee, IIRC) and the excellent form of Gary Spencer at FB meant he had to play there. Later in the stint he went back to his natural position at FB

ET was the best in his era.

I can't see how Grothe could be counted as anything other than a short-term guest player rather than an all-time great. He played all of 16 games, and we won none of the big games he played in. Of the Aussies of that period I'd say the only backs who should be considered when looking at all time great players were those who played more than one season - ET, Currie and Lyons. Those three would be in/nearly in my best of side from when I started watching in 81.

Craig Innes was a great centre a true superstar - one of the best overseas Leeds ever signed in my view

Innes was very consistent but I don't think at his best he was as good as say Iro (whose worst was terrible).

Iro was devastating when he was in the mood. I thought both complimented each other very well as a partnership though, great to watch on a good Leeds day of that era.

when innes was leaving he started scoring tries instead of giving franny walk ins , including short spells back line harris , e.t bell, senior , grothe , holmes , lyons

ET in full flow was a great sight and as others have said had the looks etc, however he did not show up in big matches for Leeds (appreciate he did not play in that many).

Currie and Lyons did.

ET was also a kid when he first played, in an awful Leeds team in 86-87. Had he been amongst better players he would have shone more. Mind you, one of my abiding memories of his spell was being surprised to see him on Noel Edmonds' Christmas show in a live link up with his family on the basis that he was a young Aussie a long way from home. Oddly enough no mention of the fact that he was also a highly paid pro sportsman.

Despite the great memories of ET, I think my abiding memory was him trying to chip the on rushing Widnes defence in a last ditch attempt to help us win a Challenge Cup game against them in his first stint with Leeds. I think it the ball fell nicely into Rick Thackerey's hands and that was all she wrote...........still the man was a genius to me, with a glide across the pitch that I've seen very few others have in all the time I've watched Rugby League.

Loved Lyons, and Currie too, it was such a shame we couldn't get them to Wembley as it was have been amazing watching them grace the Wembley turf in Leeds colours.

Remember that game well, remember fuming at ET for that and costing us the game, but reality it was a last throw of the dice to snatch a win from a much better Widnes team. also remember a fight on st michaels lane afterwards, the first time i ever saw trouble at an RL game. and still only ever seen a handful since then.
