Swainy said the other week his time at hull was the best he had playing rugby and he was close not coming to hull but in the end he said he was happy that he did

Jacko for me, one of the original modern hookers. One of his scoots could take you from your own 20 to the opposition 20 in an instant. His workrate was right up there with the very best also, quite often he'd make 3/4/5 tackles on the bounce.
Other notables for me include Swain, Wileman, Patrick and even though I never saw him my Grandad told me all about Tommy Harris.

If you count the premiership final as the same as the new grand final was Jacko the first to win it in England aswell as the nrl

Dean treister.

Swain for me.

Jackson gets my vote , Gutted when he was sold to Sheffield .

from the 80s, how about ronnie wileman, if only for breaking millwards jaw at wembley?

Tommy Haris also the 1st hooker to win the lance Todd and on a losing team and being heavily concussed.The best 2 I have seen over the years are Jacko and Swain,with Swain edging it for me.

Lee Jackson gets my vote as he seemed to be a mould breaker in terms of the hookers role.

Cannot disagree with the other suggestions made although I would prefer to remember Ronnie Wileman for his 50yd scoot down the right wing to score at Headingley.

I also think Shaun Berrigan is a candidate.

and for that try in the JPT final

i don't comment much on the threads leaving it up to you guys but another worth a mention in my time of watching was keith bridges. they didn't come more old school either in looks or style but keith was instrumental in winning ball out of contested scrums and was a key member of the league winning team in 1982/3. always remember him scoring a try in televised cup game at the boulevard and he scored so few he almost didn't know what to do when he got the ball about 5 metres out.
