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 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.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

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! |

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!!! |
