Hi all.... off over to Oz next week.... and while i am there, going to catch the South Sydney Rabbitohs v Cronulla Sharks game. I was doing a bit of research to see who will be playing and noticed Colin Best will be playing for Sharks... However, his profile doesn`t mention his time at Hull FC in 2003/2004... just thought it was odd really and wondrered why ?

It happens a lot with players who have played over here . There career in SL or pre SL is hardly , If at all mentioned in Aussie stats .

He was a good player at his time with us and quick.. what's he like now?

Ah Colin Best

What a player, what memories, even the misdirected pass behind our line which gave away a try to the Broncos in our first SL match at the KC.

Watching FC for over 50 years he is in my all time XIII on the wing with Sully.

Happy days and great to see him still playing at the highest level.

For me and my son an FC 'legend' altho he only played 2 seasons. Happy days and we won nought but what entertainment.

Each to their own opinion.

Colin best was a good player for us, but in my time of watching, Prendiville, O'Hara, Paul Sterling and Gareth Raynor were better wingers.

wish we had more of his like with regard to his injury record too. never missed a game, and in face never even missed a training session
also bucked a trend somewhat of a young aussie player coming to superleague to play when he could have got a gig in the nrl
what a combo he and richie barnett senior were with jason smith often starting attacking moves from inside our own 30 with a quick wide pass

A monday night game at the anz? you're a sucker for punishment!

There's a couple of good games on on the sunday in sydney as well.

He got 'man of the match' last weekend......an awesome display.

Think they said he was 34 years old on commentary.

When he joined us for the 2003 season I think he was 22 years old then.

34 this year, seems to have been around for an age!

Even though he appeared to go on holiday once he'd made his mind up to return home, it still makes an interesting comparison between him (2003/04) and Tom Briscoe (2010/11) - rlOPTA statsrl

I thought he was a very good player, but it helped him that he had a great centre (Barnett) a great set of pviots in Cooke, Horne and Smith and McRae's tactics at the time were full of attacking flair.

Great great player - and hands like shovels. We were certainly watching some good rugby back then - lets hope those times are coming back.

The last "truley fast" winger we have had.Remember his try against Halifax when he did Cardiss,who was no slouch,on the outside.
