slater wouldn't transform Hull in a way that a player like thurston would though. Also, there's a world of difference between playing FB at melbourne and playing it at Hull

Yeah, because Thurston dragged the Cowboys to where, last season?

Even Thurston can't transform a team on his own.

As far as Melbournes 'Big 3' go Smith and Cronk are far more important to the side than Slater.

I went for Hayne because he is the best individual player in the world.

He'd have a hell of a lot more chance than a new full back

There's no doubting he's good and has moments of freakish ability but he's inconstant at best.

Danny Brough would transform us.

having thought about this i'm going to make a case for cameron smith. most folk have gone for a world class half and i can see the logic in thurston who would also organise the team to some extent. however the best team organiser in world rugby is probably cameron smith who has to direct other pivotal front line players like cronk and slater week in week out. add in his defence, his range of passing and his kicking both in general play and goal kicking and you have a complete player. you don't need world class half backs to win superleague but you need a world class organiser and someone to lift the whole team. that's why i'm going for smith to have the same effect on the team that richard swain did

willie mason

Paul Cooke

Gareth Hock.

He's English, is at the peak of his career, he'll be foaming at the mouth when he makes his first game back, I'd love to see him scattering the opposition forwards whilst wearing black and white irregular hoops.

Oh, and it would mean Wigan wouldn't have him.

I see even the Hull FC Facebook page have copied this question from the OP

sonny bill without doubt best rugby player on the planet both codes

Benji Marshall, or Cameron Smith, easily pleased me
