The thing about Tommy Martyn is that he was a great great player for the Saints, but what made everyone love him so much was his character as much as his rugby brain.

Would Pryce ever mischievously kick a spare ball further onto the pitch to put the opposition off at a tap penalty? Or more to the point, would he get interviewed after the game with a big silly grin on his face and claim it was the foot of God? For me it's stuff like this and his obvious love of the game that will leave Tommy tattooed on my rugby memory for ever. Pryce will probably go on to be more successful in his career and win far more medals with the Saints but people will never talk about him with the same warmth and affection as they do about Tommy.

Plus, they'll never erect a statue of Pryce in Rio

Thats Tommy's son

darren albert, joey hayes, anthony sullivan, sunbed, anthony stewart, sean hoppe, chris smith, faumati all better than this muppet!!! he's rubbish, remember a semi-final against hull?? if any other superleague manager had the brain of john kear they'd do the same as hull did to us that day, he's dire

Utter nonsense chappie.

I'd take Gardner over all those except Sullivan (only due to pace) and Albert.

fooking inconsistent.

bit like sean long who everyone seems to be raving about on here

Long has consistently been the top halfback in the league for many a year. If he's that inconsistent then how did he win a Man of Steel or player of the year?

You can't rule out the mental side of the game and go on skills alone, it's the whole package that makes the player.

Long has won us trophies for a far longer period than Goulding did. There can be only one choice in a team of the SL era.

He's been consistently excellent over the course of a season for over 10 years now, unless you are talking about odd games, but if that's the case you can rule [ieveryone[/i out.

I agree with you, but Longy had more support from the club when he needed it (gamblegate) than Bobbie did

Subs

14. James Roby
15. James Graham
16. Fereti Tuilagi (for the wigs alone!)
17. Paul Anderson

There can be no debate over Long or Goulding.

Goulding had all the tools to be one of the best SH this country has ever produced and chose not to use them, he blew it basically.

Long has worked at it so he has all those tools and consistently been great for Saints, hence his individual accolades and his trophy haul.
