Costin
Russell
Drew
Crabtree
Brough
Wild
Cudjoe
Thorman, Nero, De Vere, Roarty, Skandalis wouldn't have been far off neither
Goulding was a class act, problem was the other 12 in the team weren't in the same league as him so things he tried never came off.
Lunt is a very good player in a very good team, Danny Russell gave everything every week in a very poor team so gets my nod for that alone.

Somewhere in the dust of time rest the bones of the Galilean
He who was spat upon. He whose face was marred beyond all human likeness
Somewhere buried among the lies of the past rests the tomb of Yeshua
Of he who was made God in a world without Hope.
And when this son of Joseph is found. What then will the Church of Rome say?
Prepare yourself for the day is coming. And men will say
"Blessed are the wasted lives who perished in the flames of the holy war": |

| Danny Russell was one of the best players I have ever seen play in Superleague never mind for Fartown. He had literally no physical advantages, he wasn't blessed with explosive pace, he wasn't particularly big but he probably had one of the finest rugby brains you will see. His ability to create space with a deft flick of the wrist and shimmy of the feet was a joy to behold. He just made it all look so effortless. One of the best deals Ken Davy ever did was take Carlisle to a tribunal over him because whatever we paid he was an absolute bargain. I remember Carlisle coming to play at Leeds road and Danny Russell scored a hat trick and looking at him then he just looked head and shoulders over everyone on the pitch. If he had played for Carlisle after Bosman he would've been playing in the top flight long before he did for us (Ok that's not actually temporeally possible). Hell if it hadn't been for nepotism he would've been playing in the NRL.
Shaun Lunt is a very good hooker but Danny Russell was a fricking genius.

| lunt is great but sticks in my mind sometimes that he never wanted to come back and play for us and wanted to stay at leeds, was very vocal about it too trying to engineer a move...some say you cant blame him and fair enough, he has proved to me last season though that we made the right choice bringing him back
ferres maybe..but not played long enough for us to get in the top 10 i feel over the others.
everyone has their own opinions but dont think chris roberts is far wrong with his 10.

used to love seeing the bobbie goulding bombs going up and over to the corners and those little legs jigging away at the line!

| Atkins. Love him. 50 tackles a game no bother and god knows how many metres. Hardest working player I've ever seen in a giants shirt. (Followed by adey toole- 90 minute prop and smoked up to 40 a day according to Ben Barton! He may have been pulling my leg!)

| Rocket Rod Jensen would be in my top 10 - probably before Wild. Rod was electric to watch and a real fans favourite.

| I meant dave atkins not lomax, agree about roarty, class act but didn't do it for long enough for me to warrant a place, same goes for Jensen, 12 games I think he played?

| Anyone remember Albert Torrens? Only played 7 games for us, but scored 5 tries, including one in the last min to beat Wakey, could have been a real susperstar

| Rod jenson had pace- but didn't offer anything else- and oh how BAD was he at fullback!
Torrens was a class act- just unlucky with a bad injury-- he wanted to stay but according to what he told me was treated pretty shoddily by the giants.

certainly deserves a mention...not far from being in the top 10...with wild and kev brown these really did bring the Giants a long way

| Cannot believe Dean Hanger wasn't in the top ten, up there with Stanley for the X factor
Shame Wally Gibson was a bit before the super league he'd have been difficult to leave out

| hangar was a key player before our super league days, I think he only played one season in super league era?
certainly a crowd pleaser and one of the best players I've seen in a fartown shirt, but not one of the top 10 in SL era.
