| First up though nobody's around now who saw him play, Billy Batten is an obvious one. Inaugural member if the RL Hall of Fame if that isn't enough I don't know what is.
It certainly will be controversial and I suppose someone has to do it but, Schofield (spit) had a quite extraordinary record as a Hull player averaging nearly a try a game. He also starred at international level and as a player in Aus when on Hull's books. Indeed the best year's of his career were probably as a Hull player. Therefore viewed simply as a player that's hard to argue against. As a person and what he did to Hull that's a different argument altogether.
As we are nominating and not sticking to 2 James Leuluai was one of my favourites and very good too, coming up with some spectacular tries in big games. A class act on and off the field.

| i've decided that i'll drop barnett out of the 6 and replace with gilbert. in a sense this has been the toughest position so far because of 8 outstanding candidiates going into 6. nonetheless, selecting an all time team is tough and decisions have to be made. its tough on barnett and yeaman, both outstanding players for hull, but in the company of the other 6 they come up just short.
however one poster has mentioned the possible need for more nominations in this category. whilst its not something i support because it could set a precedent for the later positions i'm willing to test opinion on having say 8 noms in this category

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

| You go to great lengths to tell everyone Watts can't possibly be a contender because he was never selected for internationals, and then you say Leuluai shouldn't necessarily be a contender just because he represented his country.

| I'd certainly select Dick Gemmell.
I can still remember a pass he made in the tackle (50 years ago) to his winger, I think Wilf Rosenberg, but I might be mistaken.
There was a great action picture in the Sports Mail the following week.
I happened to see Dick a couple of years ago in a fish and chip shop and I mentioned the pass - he could remember it well, in fact he has the picture on his wall at home.
It was against Rovers, and the tackler was Flash Flanagan.
