In order;

Peacock - Great player and leader - Why didn't we offer him the contract he was after?
Foreshaw - Great grafter, hard running but even harder in defence.
Gilmour - Always enjoyed watching him play. He seemed to make numerous breaks for his size, and I was pretty down when I heard he had decided to leave.

Very hard decision. I've gone with Menzies, Peacock and Morrison. Peacock would be a dead cert for most peoples choice but there are a few of really decent players that didn't make the cut (Gartner, Burgess, Whitehead...Worrincy).

this is probably the toughest category
The top five all left lasting memories and set up a lot of the good things the club has had going on. The likes of Dwyer 's try against wigan at home, nickles speed and support play, forshaw coming in from nowhere when nobody seemed keen to give him a chance and getting two tries on debut. Donougher and medley in semi finals created a lot of good memories.

Peacock I remember coming through and the effort we put into getting him upto super league standard. as a young back rower he seemed able to put men away with balls around the corner, but became a tough uncompromising go to man that resulted in his walkaway man of steel award.

Menzies and morrison I had always watched in NRL in admiration and neither disapointed both were so much better than expected. think Morrison should have more votes as mentioned in t and a earlier this week swept all awards from club in his first year and I distinctly remember him tackling his heart out on one leg in a derby game at home and he was out for weeks afterwards. Menzies played tough brilliant in defence rarely rattled and just oozed class his hands and footwork were sublime. If he were English he would never have missed a cap he was fit for.

My fourth choice would have been solly if not just for the skill and excitement he could create!

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?

Peacock, Menzies and Morrison

With honourable mentions to Gartner and Burgess.

Love the troll votes for Worrincy

About as hard as it gets, this one.

JP has to be in there. Anyone dare to disagree...?

Beaver perhaps the classiest player we have had in the SL era. Certainly one of the best to wach...and marvel at. Wonderful player, wonderful guy.

Sir Daniel Gartner HAS to be perhaps the most under-rated (by some, at least) forward we have had here in the SL era? Massive contribution to our all-conquering team.


So how the hell can I leave out the fantastic Morro? Or Forshaw when he played second row (although I preferred him at loose)? Or the great Sir Bernard Dwyer? To name but three? As I said, about as hard as it gets!

Guess this list shows one of the reasons we had so much success with players like this in the boiler room. You could get a pretty good 13 from these guys alone. Hopefully some of the young bloods here will move themselves up the pecking order in the next few years and I always thought it was a shame we did not keep Sir Beaver a few more seasons as if he had been able to pass on even a fraction of his skill and attitude to the younger players we would be in a better position now.

JP, Danny Gartner and Steve 'magic' Menzies. Apologies to all who missed my cut but it really is an embarrassment of riches in this department.

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.
