Quote: Exeter Rhino "Was Solomona a flop signing then? As things currently stand he's got no votes, one less than Michael Worrincy!

IIRC Solomona was class when you first signed him (2007?), then his famed love of doing as little as possible during training set in and his weight ballooned. His fault or McNamara's?'"

No, Solo wasn't a flop. He was just not the player we really needed at the time and to be blunt, if you needed the icing for a very rich cake then solo is as good as they come but sadly, we didn't have a rich cake and needed a grafter who wasn't going to throw away possession with flamboyant passes. Brilliant player, but a square peg in our round hole.

Like everyone says so hard to choose, so many good players, But JP, Steve Menzies and Danny Gartner for me. Pity is Concrete Karl isn`t in there he would have been one of my choices but who to leave out would have been a problem. Are we sure Karl never packed down in the second row for the Bulls?

I think (hope?) that by the end of next year Bateman might be demanding a place in the top three.

Very hard this one, had to go with Peacock and Menzies, but I popped in third, Lee Gilmour...he did a lot and also carried it on for Saints when he left us...a real unsung player... I think Karl did play Second Rower and ?? did he play in the very early season's of Super League ?? My mind cannot stretch that far back nowadays...

I thought Solomona was really good for us. Tackled hard, ran hard, but just threw the odd wild pass.

JP, Gartner, Menzies.

Karl definately played in the first Bulls season 1996, but can`t recall if he played as a second rower. Seem to remember he was used off the bench more then. Never the less he was a great back row forward. Just hope this group of promising kids can produce another with Karl`s attributes, maybe John Bateman will combine skill with no nonsense hardness.

Nobody will ever be as hard as Fairbank, they dont make them like that anymore, except me.

I went for Peacock, Gartner and Gilmour. Could have easily had Menzies, Morrison or Burgess though.

Easily the hardest position so far.

Gilmour wasnt really a backrower for us was he, always had him down as more of a centre.

Menzies, Peacock and Gartner.

So hard to choose, would have loved to include Elima, Dwyer, Forshaw.

I went for peacock,Dwyer and Gartner,then looked at the list again and thought how the hell could you leave Menzies out of any all time great list,then looked at the list again and saw that Worrincey had the same number of votes as Dwyer,one of my picks,so I thought best go to sleep

I went for Peacock (carried the pack at times in his final season with the Bulls) Gartner (Just a class act) and Morrison (His work rate was superb)

Agree mostly but I put Menzies in 3rd place - same work rate as Morrison with a wee bit less in defensive power but a lot more in pace/handling in attacking skills.
