IMO Apollo was by far better than britt, britt was getting on to be fair but Apollo was big, strong, done 80 mins, as fit as they come, hard in defence and was faster than some wingers! This guy could score 60 meter tries!

It's hard to rate fairleigh against the likes of Apollo, graham and ward as he wasn't here very long.

1 - Ward

2 - graham

3 - apollo

4- fairleigh

Considering he was right as the end of his career Ward was the best prop I`d ever seen in saints colours.

But in the last 2 or 3 years James Graham has for me eclipsed Wardy`s performances.

We have done pretty well in between with props like Britt , Fairleigh , Apollo , Cayless in his first year, Baloo but for me those two are a step above.

I agree we have always had a good prop and cayless was awesome in his first year. Maybe next year will be first time in long time that we will have two top class starting props in jammer and perry.

I think in terms of playing prop forward, i'd disagree. I think both Fairleigh and Britt were ahead of Apollo.

However, what Apollo did have, which has probably helped make your decision was a (in top trumps terms) a [ihero[/i score of 100.

You'd watch him play and he'd smash one of the oppo props in the tackle, then later on he'd take in the ball and they'd smash him, but he'd get up, smile and say "Good tackle, mate." (I think it was Barry McDermott that retold that story, once) and you'd see him give them a little thumbs up.
