If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...: |

Richard Swain from a black and white perspective. Played between 2004 -2007 and led Hull to a 3rd, 5th, 2nd and 4th placed finishes in the league whilst also winning the Challenge Cup and making the Grand Final.
Not a bad 4 years!

Ryan mcgoldrick, he alone has won the game by himself too many times to remember. For other teams.

For Huddersfield
Brad Drew - Class player and played his heart out for Fartown, Eddie and Stevo would have drooled over him if he'd have played for a more "fashionable" team.
Brett Hodgson - As above and now not doing badly at Warrington.

Big Les signed for Bradford in 2002. I make that last decade?
Him and Lyon get my votes.
Oh -and Hape.

Trent Barrett, Jamie Lyon
Pat Richards has been fantastic for us, but he he cant win games single handedly like Barrett and Lyon could.

Lyon and Vainikolo are the clear stand-outs for me.
Richards is a good shout, but not in the same league as these two IMO. He does what he does on a consistent basis but I wouldn't swap him for say, Marcus Bai, in the Leeds team of 2004-5. Lyon and Vainikolo would be shoe-ins for any team.
Lauitiiti and Webb have been good servants to Leeds but for various reasons didn't maintain their consistency - perhaps if they had left SL on a high (as Lyon did) then they would be more highly rated.
Trent Barrett was a good player for Wigan, but let's not kid ourselves that he was one of the best imports of the last 10 years.

Can't speak for other clubs' imports as I only get to see them on Sky or when they play Wire - but for me Wire's "best" overseas signing of the past decade (I would have said Langer if you'd said last 15 years) is M. Monaghan. While the "best value for money" overseas signing was Chris Hicks.
