Greenhill retired both St Helens props that day one through 12 punches Greenhill one and good night, other tried to hit him high did his arm and hit heads both retired after that game.

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.

Almost did the same to a local Fanzine editor.

Lee Radford ?

The best oversea,s signing has to be Peter Stiriling.

No one else comes even close .

Peter Sterling was the overseas best player
Jason Smith Fantastic

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

Not as good as Jason Temu on Darren Rogers at Salford

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

the words "BELL RINGER" OR "BONE RATTLER" spring to mind with that one....

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.

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.

Such was his standing in the game and the impact he had at Hull in a short space of time.

Back then I seem to remember most overseas players missing chunks of the season because the of the overlap between the English and Oz leagues. It would often be late September before a star signing turned up and in some cases they left before the seasons end! Didnt we fly Scott Gale back from his Oz club to play in our 88 cup semi final?

Tbf at that time Sterling was the best half back the worlds seen, so can appreciate the impact.

Did gale have two spells with us then?
