First 2, give over.....

Fielden was probably the best prop in the world for a period when he was at Bradford. Took too much hammer early in his career in my opinion, seem to remember when he was younger playing 80 mins each and every game for Bradford but getting more than his fair share of head high shots most games.

As for Scully, absolute quality player who gave his all every single week. Everything a loose forward should be, the perfect mix of a stand off in a 2nd rowers body who stood out in the big games, and hard as nails too. He would walk into the current GB side (not that says much, but still).

My nomination would have been a big lanky prop who did the rounds at a few clubs for a few years, I am tempted to say his name was Paul McNicholas but cannot be sure.

Think there is some truth in that. Maybe not just from other teams either but also other areas, Burrows who I like is from Cas or Fev I believe, Sinfield from Oldham etc etc.

All didn't live up to their reasonable billing for us.

Sinfield is vasty overrated. A useful player but not international class.
Dale Ferguson I feel isn't quite the prospect people think.
Possibly Alker was talked up a bit too much.

Willie Mason

Forshaw was a very good player and so was Powell, what they both had this is not often appreciated by opposition fans is they were technically superb.

Forshaw was excellent throughout his career, he was not a late bloomer, but only when he joins your club and you see the kind of things he did do most fans seem to rate him.

Powell for me falls into that category.

I don't rate him

I like the parochial way you cast your net no further than Wakey, a club you rarely watch

I seriously believe you!!

Vowles is an interesting one, had 2 good years and then looked a shadow of his former self. Got sick of seeing him set for the big hit and throw his body at the opposition only to convert about 10% of them into actual tackles the rest of the time he seemed to badly miss time it and look like a total liability in the line.

Korkidas is another who I really don't get. Could have been a top class trophy winning prop but never seemed to improve in the areas where he has always been weak.

Never IMO and I've stuck to my guns all along on this one. He does a job for us and for that I'm grateful but there are to many limitations to Micks game that even a full RL career couldn't rectify.

Because he huffs and puffs and occasionally breaks the line there is an expectation that simply can't be met. However unlike Macnamara or others mentioned, I think the group who over praise Korki are quite small.

sean o'loughlin anyone?

Dirty get - good club player but underwhelming international, like Tomkins.

McNamara suffered from 2 season syndrome like many of the other players I mentioned, Robbie Paul, Vowles etc. At Hull he was excellent and had real potential moving forward as a top quality ball handling back row forward. Sadly he just never lived up to the potential or hype.

If you took away the aggression and gave it to Korki it would suit both players!
I like Sean but he's a dirty sod! One of those Jimmy Lowes type players that you love to hate but you'd also want them on your side.

YES.
