For me, Henry Paul was the best Stand Off to don the Red, Amber and Black.

Me 2 'bullinenemyland' Henry Paul (a.k.a sauce HP) was immense during his time at bradford

ive gone for Mr Pryce in 2nd cos he had/has the guile to play at 6 but unfortunatley wasn't picked there many times, altho when he was he was very good.

The peerless Henry, followed closely by the mercurial Robbie. A privilege to have seen both their careers, and true gentlemen to boot.

Henry Paul by far one of the greats followed by his bro

Henry was the best player in SL at the time. Robbie was a scrum half.

On some days, yes, but on others, he was a stand off. You might reasonably have thought that he [iought[/ito have always played scrum half, but he didn't. He was a fullback too.

And hooker.

This one was easy. Henry Paul.

It might have been a close thing with Iestyn Harris if he hadn't been basically past his best by the time we got him here.

Dont forget robbies short lived career at centre!

Henry Paul. One of the greatest stand offs ever to play the game IMO

Yes to me he was what I compare the standard of a stand off to -
pass both ways tick
has a good range and variety with passing tick
can organise tick
has a reasonable all round kicking game tick
has some pace and enjoys taking the line on tick
good foot work tick

No one player is going to live up to all of these by Henry's level but i believe that these are some of the key qualities a 6 should have to be considered good at super league standard.

Henry by a mile. The bloke could do everything. Favourite Bradford player. Doubt I'll see a better all around player for some time playing for us.

Henry was so good I had clean forgot about Harris, which is a bit unfair as he was probably briefly the best back we had produced in a generation. While at Leeds.

Henry and the menacing Penguin - He most of been the most hated and feared by opposition

Henry by a country mile. His boot was suberb. Kicking penalties from the halfway for fun

Henry Paul was simply unplayable at times for Bradford. Often against Leeds. Unquestionably one of SL's best stand-offs.

Harris of 1998-9 was as good but sadly going to Welsh RU ruined him as a top player. When he returned he was still a good player (in patches) but no longer a great. Similarly Henry Paul was a shadow of his former self when he returned from RU, although he may have been a bit older than Harris was.

Henry had lost a lot of his pace when he came back. He was also in a weaker team, so his role changed, meaning his defence and organisation skills became more important and playing off the cuff was left to others at the Broncos.

Still did a great job for them though.

I'm looking forward to the next poll in the series

I have switched my intentions from total abstinence to full assault, & back again. Several times.

Why isn't Karl Pratt on the list started many a game at stand off in 2003 including the grand final.

Yeah, he did. He was mainly used as utility though so difficult to pin down to a single position for a poll like this.

I liked Karl, though. He was wholehearted, never gave in, had a decent set of skills and generally gave his all to the cause. Sadly his efforts weren't always best directed though with, for instance, his full speed shoulder charges often bringing the crowd to its feet but too often not stopping the move and sometimes ending with Karl himself being injured. There were always fireworks around when Karl was on the field!

HP by a mile.

This makes depressing reading, Thing back 10 years or so we had Henry, Robbie, Leon and Paul Deacon! What id give for just one of those in their prime now!

Henry of course is top of the list by a distance. A long long distance.
Much already said about his individual play, but the way he organised the defence was also outstanding.
Robbie next and Iestyn in 3rd.

I think there should be a seperate section for super subs.
Robbie covering full back, stand off, centre, scrum half and hooker would be the first name on my bench

Robbie takes 2nd and will go into the draw for thesubs vote.

The winner however is the one and only Henry Paul!!!
