As others have said honourable mentions go to Dannatt, King, Tindall. Although neither was a great player I think one of the most effective pairings at prop we have had were Carvell and Dowes. They seemed to be there week after week doing the hard groundwork for others. I would love it if we had a pair of props at the moment who could put in as many minutes as consistently as they did. Unfortunately one such prop we got rid of is still playing elsewhere, Andy Lynch.

I think one of the features of good props is that you tend not to notice them until they are not there. It is only when they are substituted or unavailable you realise just how much work they do. One I particularly remember in this respect is Craig Greenhill.

I feel guilty for saying that one of the things I remember most about Andy Dannatt was him breaking Ellery Hanley's jaw in a game against Leeds at the Boulevard. Hanley had lost a lot of his speed but used his incredible understanding of the game to often be in front of their ball carrier ready for an offload. Dannatt got fed up of him being in the way and cracked him off the ball. He was sent off. I cannot remember if we lost - probably - but at the time he got a big cheer.

I remember when Dannatt came back to the Boulevard with Saints for the first time I've never seen so many players tackle one man.I was half expecting the coaching staff to join in too

Stone & Tindall were great servants for the club , Skerrett played in an era that was great for the club , Some great tough forwards around then in that time . Harrison later was another when we had a very good pack under Brian Smith .

thought i would bring this back up after the weekend fury has died down a bit. any more suggestions before i do the nominee list

skerritt and mike harrison for me,

in this order
1, keith Tindall, fearless and very unlucky with injuries but my fav
2, Charlie stone, no nonsense did the little things with ease
3, Paul rose, a good friend and a tough hombre as well , very tough
4, Skerrett , one seriously massive unit

Another from the Power Pack of the fifties who should be considered is Bob Coverdale. He played with Mick Scott and Jim Drake and all three played for England.

Bob was a specialist blind side prop who played from 1951- 57 and he missed out on a Premiership win through injury and played in 3 losing Yorkshire Cup finals.

who was the aussie prop who dropped 2 Saints players in one match

Greenhill, he was a decent prop, good go forward and solid defence.

Craig "Knuckles" is the best front row forward I have seen play for Hull FC, and possibly the toughest too. He never took a backward step, and had great defence...and kicked the odd goal...

I'll never ever forget when he leathered Barry Ward from St Helens.

he split opinions but i always liked greenhill - not top class enough to make our list but was a pretty consistent forward who did a lot of minutes

and, yes he is exactly the kind of prop we need now

Just looked at his stats from 2003, made 3594 metres (2nd in SL), 73 tackle busts and 34 offloads.

As you have said, I would love to have a similar player in our side now (I think we did in Lynch, but will stupidly released him).
