MCB shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath as the other players to be fair

He was ok and very fast but to have him above BJB is a stunner I must admit. |

I thought Peter Fox was very good for us, signed for Hull Kr the year after and played very good tests for England against NZ. Semi Tadulala was also solid. BJB trounces all over MCB for me, we really missed him when he went. Josh Bostock had a good year for us when we came up.

Totally forgot about Fox, definitely top 10 in my book. |

One player I can’t believe hasn’t been mentioned was Ben Cockayne, he was outstanding for us and made the England train on squad while with his. He wouldn’t care less about putting his body on the line. I really liked him.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.: |
|

How has nobody mentioned Wasail Sovatabua? Seem to remember him being prolific. Especially in the air.

I knew I’d forget someone….
I was also watching when Keith Slater got his career ending injury… but that’s the only time I saw him and I was just a kid. |

What about Neil Law who seemed to score a lot of important try’s for us.

Personally the best I have seen and the most underrated was
Brian Juliff big strong as a bull and quick
After that
David Smith
Peter Fox
Ben Cockayne
Andy Wilson
I do rate TJ highly but his injury record and his defence put him behind the above

Ken Hirst one of the best wingers I've seen in a Trinity shirt, but sadly he was always third choice. Jan Prinsloo on a par with TJ for me. His tries to appearances ratio has not been beaten. Andy Fletcher was a good 'un also

Ken was a smashing fella loved going in the Tawny Owl back in the day
Too young to have seen the great Trinity sides he played in |

if you haven't already seen the video of the 1968 "Watersplash" final I suggest you do and you'll see exactly what Ken Hirst was capable of. A great winger and decent chap as you say. Being at Trinity at the same time as Gert Coetzer, Berwyn Jones, John Etty, Fred Smith & Jan Prinsloo his chances of getting a run of games was always going to be limited. An unsung hero. |
