Quote: Erik the not red "I'm struggling with this one. Sterling is obviously the best I've seen but 34 games over a season and a half doesn't win any long service awards. Typically for Hull's history with half backs its hard to find anyone with the combination of brilliance where they are recognised as among the best of their contemporaries (eg winning representative honours) and having a substantial number of appearances for Hull. Both Dean and Harkin for example didn't make 100 appearances for Hull, or get rep honours for that matter.'"
I first saw Sterling here in Aus in the 70's playing in televised schoolboy football where his obvious talent was on display leading to his stellar career at Paramatta and the subsequent International honours. Came over in 1985 for the Cup Final to see him play for Hull and noted how idolised he was by the Hull supporters. It is no surprise that he is seen by many as the best scrum half to play for Hull. With his limited games for Hull though, should he be part of the greatest team of the past 150 years?
