Without doubt my top 3 are;
Kemble
Leuluai
O'Hara
All 3 brought class to Hull in the early 80's.
All played in same team together when we last won the championship.
Scored spectacular tries (not least Wembley 85).

Nor mine, he was average and not the top class 'leader' we needed when Swain left.
Only watched since the mid-90s, my top 10 would look like this
Swain
Smith
Kearney
Manu
Grimaldi
Blacklock
O'Meley
Best
McMenemy
Domic
Note: some of the above (such as McMenemy or Domic) aren't the most gifted/talented players I've seen in the Black and White, but their effort, work-rate and overall contribution to the team gets them on to my list. |

| Quote: Wellsy13 "No Fitzgibbon or Barnett?'"
Barnett was a more talented centre than Domic, but I've chosen Domic as I think we got more out of him due to his better injury record and workrate.
Fitzgibbon was good in 2010, but in 2011 I felt he started to look tired and slow (not helped by Agar's policy of flogging him for 80mins every week) which is why he's narrowly left off my list. |

Sterling was without doubt the best I have seen, light years ahead of everyone.
Kemble
Leuluai
O'Hara
Kearney
Smith
Swain
Muggleton
Fred Ah Kuoi
Blacklock
Best
Grimaldi
and that French scrum half who I can't remember his name! Played I think in early 1990's. He went back to France and became a Fireman!

Why? As much as I like Willie Manu I've got ten better overseas players for us than him. As I'm sure a lot of others do. |

Shayne McMenemy was an usung hero. Not spectacular but one of my favourites.

Shayne McMenemy and Adam Maher were brilliant for us.
