“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club. Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you. "Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby Union is a complex game played by wankers." L.Daley 2005:



Putting all the usual suspects aside...we have picked up some good uns that wasnt Big names.

Adam Maher-Truly outstanding 2nd rower

Terry Regan
David Boyle
Steve Holmes
Steve Foulkes
the list is endless.............

There's no doubt we have had some really good and really bad overseas players through our club.
the Kiwis,Smith ,Sterlo etc they go without saying,I remember some of the players from when we gained promotion. Steven Holmes the fullback,I thought was a really under rated player along with David Lidiard and Gary Lester under Siggy,I know they are not in the same mould as the Greats that we have seen through our club,but at the time they did a fantastic job.Scotty Logan or as Richo called him "The Big Unit" was also a good player for us.

The greats are easy to pick out,how about picking out the players who you thought were very good but not quite great.My bet is that a lot of memories would be jogged,and a lot of " id forgotten about him" replies would follow

as fc baldy said, adam maher was a very good player along with others like grimaldi, id put cooke in that catagorie, very good but will always be remeberd for you know what, but his contribution to the team was quality at the time....

as for worst overseas siging, thinking about it, michael smith was a dog bab sigining...complete mess........

In terms of the best player that did the most for us whilst here, for me it has to be Gary Kemble by a mile. The best overseas player that's pulled on the black and white is Sterlo. We've had some good ones and often the unheralded ones have really made their mark , Sid Domic is a great example in recent times whilst as others have said Tery Reagan - how hard was he?- , Adam Maher and Patrick Entat were a pleasure to watch and gave fantastic value for money.

Wouldn't make many people's top ten in their best overseas players list but Shane McMenemy deserves a mention somewhere.

"Be you ever so high, the law is above you" "No one has ever made himself great by showing how small someone else is". - Irvin Himmel Tony, Blacklock, Yeaman, Whiting, Raynor, R. Horne, Brough, Dowes, Swain, Carvell, McMenemy, Kearney, Cooke. Replacements: Thackray, King, Chester, Saxton.:icons077e_files/5452-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg



1) Kemble. Years of loyalty to the cause. He was also the most exciting full back I have ever seen. The most under rated of all the Kiwis (he came from Hunslet for goodness sake!!! ) yet he was awsome and never let us down. His injury in the sf cost us the final in 1985 imo.
2) Sterling. Possibly one of the greatest overseas players of all time. 2nd only due to short term contract.
3) Swain. a born winner nuff said.
4) Kearney. For me a total pleasure to watch in a Hull shirt and very under rated in terms of what he did for the club on the training pitch.
5) Smith. Gave some great service though he was clearly targetted by the oposition. But in terms of the modern game he never took a backward step.
