| I suppose if it's a true all time Hull FC then Billy Batten has to be included. An original member of the RFL's Hall of Fame, he played 226 games for us although it would have been well over 300 had it not been for the War meaning no appearances for three seasons. The £600 transfer fee Hull paid for him was double the world record at the time.
For me the other spot would be between Garry Schofield and James Leuluai. A tough choice as both were big favourites of mine as a kid but I'd go for Schofield as he scored 107 tries in 122 games compared to Leuluai's 85 in 183 games. Schofield was also a very good goal kicker.

| 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.
