Paul King............... Nah it has to be either Jacko or Swain. Jacko shades it for me

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.

Lasty...he was class!

The mighty atom !!

Lee Jackson was one of my favourite players and very good. Swain was an outstanding genuinely world class player. Berrigan had some tremendous games at 9 but typically spent most of his Hull career playing anywhere but there, his best position, and so has to be ruled out more thanks to his coach than himself. Having said that one player who was before my time stands out a mile. Tommy Harris has more Great Britain appearances as a Hull player than anyone else, won a Lance Todd Trophy on a losing team and clocked up over 400 appearances. By all accounts he was the original game changer of being a mobile, skilful hooker who could more than hold his own in open play. In those days hookers were first and foremost ball winners and that was all a lot of them could do. As a youngster I often heard the old timers commenting on any new number 9s that were speedy and skilful hoping that they would become the next Tommy Harris - basically he was the gold standard against which others were judged. He basically has it all, a long career, a great career as evidenced by his better than any other Hull player's representative record and that he was a genuine innovator as to how the position was played, Lee Jackson - much as I admire him came 30 years late on that. So for me Tommy Harris should be a certainty.

I would also like to put in a good word for Ronnie Wileman though, not for breaking Millward's jaw which frankly is nothing to celebrate at all but rather shameful, but for making a mug of Fairbairn in the JPS final and I also remember him embarrassing Georgina when he was playing for Wigan and Ronnie scored from near half way easily beating the soon to be world's most expensive player.
