Was never a fan of Greenhill, he grafted and was decent but never set the world on fire. Logan was a good player but we didn't get his best period

| I won't bother posting a full team, because most of it has already been covered. I will just throw a couple of names in that I don't think have been mentioned.
Whilst he only played a handful of games for us. Matthew Head is the best natural 7 I have seen in the black and white. If we are going for playing ability rather than what they achieved then he would be my scrum half. Shame he was made of biscuit.
And also Ewan Dowes, despite becoming a plodder towards the end, was excellent in his first few years and played a huge part in both our 05 cup run and our run to the grand final the following year.

Logan i thought could of bin a good signing. But most often he was injured and just didn't show signs of his old self. Greenhill was good on his day but his name will be mentioned because he was good with his fists.

If anyone gets a chance to watch the semi V's saints and the Final V Leeds in 2005, watch how good Dowes was. Constantly bending the defensive line and taking three to pull him down. He was great in his first few seasons. Ill also throw in Jamie Thackray in his first spell. Was there a better impact forward in the country at the time? Used to love his all action running.

| Even though he played only a handful, an overlooked by someone else. I thought Dean Triester was great.

He was a great little player and his enthusiasm on the pitch was contagious, fast from dummy half but the signing of Swain meant he didn't get that long, and as an all round player Swain was on a different level

I remember when we had announced we were signing Swain (who was arguably the best hooker in the world at the time IMO anyways) people were moaning saying why have we signed him when we've got Treister. He was good for us and a fan favourite in such a short time. But Swain was on a different planet to Deano, and he proved it.

I were one of them. I knew who swain was but we already had Deano.. But agree with comments on Swain.

| We was also lucky to see two of the finest right wingers the NRL has ever produced playing in a black and white shirt, suprised no one has mentioned one of them yet.

Blacklock made 1 of my teams! Think his knee had seen better days by time he was here but loved every minute he played here, was a great player to watch.
Sing was in better physical shape, but relied on service and played in a pretty awful Hull side and got nothing, a couple of times he played fullback looked better just because he actually got hold of the ball.

| Probably similar to others but will throw it out there
1. S. Brisoce
2. T. Briscoe
3. S. Domic
4. R. Barnett (Snr)
5. C. Best
6. P. Cooke
7. R. Horne
8. M. O'Meley
9. R. Swain
10. G. Cavell
11. S. McMenemy
12. W. Manu
13. J. Smith
Sub
14. R. Whiting
15. S. Moa
16. S. Kearney
17. E. Dowes
some players that didn't make it:
Prescott - didn't see much of him or recall much of any individual before 2004 when I first got a season pass so mine is more on 2004 forward though I do recall a bit of Jason Smith
Brough - going with what combination seemed to work best and though I was gutted he left his best years were still ahead of him
Yeaman - not a hater of Kirk, done a great job for us but those 2 stick in my mind even though it was just 3 seasons between them
Berrigan/Houghton - working on the basis that Swain plays the full 80
