Greenhill was a solid prop and hard as nails! Cant remeber who he flattened once... Im sure it was a Saints player, and then another saints player broke their arm in a tackle against him.

Stephen Kearney had the biggest influence on the club I'm sure. Brought an unseen level of professionalism to our club in all aspects.

Quote: easthullwesty "I just don't get how Craig Greenhill gets into peoples teams. He was gash, an absolute plodder.'"

Greenhill wasnt the best player but worked hard and other teams forwards were afraid of him. He was a right head the ball but did a very good job in a well assembled team.

One player who has been mentioned a few times and i fail to see why is Cleal. He was at the end of his career and very average 99% of the time but on occasion would go on a mad crazy run flattening people in his path. Reminds me of a current FC forward actually.

- and the other point about mentioning Greenhill is that this thread started as a theoretical team of overseas Hull players and prop is a position where we have probably recruited few such players - he's not got a lot of competition. I probably wouldn't rate many of them (except O'Meley) if they were competing with the likes of Mick Harrison, Karl Harrison, Lee Crooks and Trevor Skerrett (different eras I know but this is theoretical) or if they were competing with other teams' overseas props such as Mark Broadhurst.

Peter Sterling was the overseas best player
Jason Smith Fantastic

What about Maea David when he tackled Jason Robinson at the Boulevard. Ouch

Quote: BP1 "

Most underated overseas signing (and one I haven't seen mentioned yet, rather surprisingly) is Craig Coleman (1988-89). Brought over by Brian Smith, he struck up an instant and highly effective partnership with Gary Pearce which was instrumental in turning a dysfunctional bottom four side into a highly organized and disciplined top four side with a fantastic work ethic throughout the side. A team that punched above its collective weight with Coleman pulling the strings in the middle.'"

I remember the night when Coleman and Pearce systematically dismantled the worlds best team at Central park during that season . Great night.

Fantastic night of [ireal[/i mixed emotions. My mates father had past away and he'd been to his funeral during the day; very quiet on the way there, we couldn't shut him up on the way home. icon_biggrin.gif

If you look at the career and standing in the game it's sterling, but he didn't even play a full season with us.
