Being a young 'un I can only speak from 1999ish onwards. My list in no particular order and with (hopefully no Leeds bias);
Dave Furner- hard as nails
Shontayne Hape- Make my life misery as a young Leeds fan misery, appreciate him now though.
Lesley Vainikolo- See above
Ali Lauitiiti- one of the most consistantly exciting players
Willie Poching- solid servant to all he played for, not spectacular but gave everything he had
Stanley Gene- again not spectacular but a legend in his own right
Jamie Lyon- great ball handler, kicker, all round RL player. Still doing it at the highest level today
Joe Vagana- Part of the Awesome Foursome at Bradford, a 130kg wrecking ball.
Steve Renouf- one of the greatest centres ever FULLSTOP
Brett Dallas- another tough cookie, with lighting pace
There have been great players to play in Super League e.g. Stacey Jones, Andrew Johns, Danny Buderus but I don't feel they contributed enough to the English game to warrent a place on my list. Just opinion

A slight Bradford bias, but i've chosen overseas signings, not just players. People that have done a lot for their clubs.

I know. I was really looking forward to seeing him play but obviously I couldn't say he was best I saw at such a short stint. Thought he was one of the best classy centres I've seen though when he played SOO and for Aussies tourists |

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club.
Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you.

Suprised no ones put Jason Smith,was with us for 4 years,the 1st 2 seasons he was simply superb....single-handely destroyed Leeds and Gave a master-class on loose forward play at Wigan when we drew there,his last 2 seasons was wracked by injuries but a truly superb Ball playing 13.
