A player people seem to forget is Ian Brooke.
Lightning quick GB centre also v good stand off.
Is it because he went to Bradford in his prime.
Also what about Big Neils ideal centre partner South African Alan Skene.
Also fellow South African Gert Oupa Coetzer.
Then the incomparible Poynton.
You didnt have to try and hide Harold in the defensive line.
Bob Haigh and and and ....
What memories.

I saw them both play (though I was young in 70s) and I have to say I'd chose Solomona.
Different styles but simply the fact that Ashurst had injuries and had seen better days, whereas Solomona was at the hight of his powers....Solomona for me.

Do you know you've just replied to a 2 year old post!

Sesqui wotsit - you must have too much time on your hands!

I wondered why I hadn't noticed this before. Doh.
Still, it was a historic discussion anyway so nothing has changed.

Just refreshing it as its an off season topic forum filler to pass the time and keep everyone interested and we've had a few new players so some new p v p comparisons to make

This is an interesting one for me.

Danny is 100% effort, does the little things right, times his runs well, can find a gap or burst a tackle.
Ellis had a little bit more skill IMO, tackled a lot harder and could still do the other things that Danny does.

I'd have to pick Ellis but it would be close.
