About as hard as it gets, this one.

JP has to be in there. Anyone dare to disagree...?

Beaver perhaps the classiest player we have had in the SL era. Certainly one of the best to wach...and marvel at. Wonderful player, wonderful guy.

Sir Daniel Gartner HAS to be perhaps the most under-rated (by some, at least) forward we have had here in the SL era? Massive contribution to our all-conquering team.


So how the hell can I leave out the fantastic Morro? Or Forshaw when he played second row (although I preferred him at loose)? Or the great Sir Bernard Dwyer? To name but three? As I said, about as hard as it gets!

Guess this list shows one of the reasons we had so much success with players like this in the boiler room. You could get a pretty good 13 from these guys alone. Hopefully some of the young bloods here will move themselves up the pecking order in the next few years and I always thought it was a shame we did not keep Sir Beaver a few more seasons as if he had been able to pass on even a fraction of his skill and attitude to the younger players we would be in a better position now.

JP, Danny Gartner and Steve 'magic' Menzies. Apologies to all who missed my cut but it really is an embarrassment of riches in this department.

No, Solo wasn't a flop. He was just not the player we really needed at the time and to be blunt, if you needed the icing for a very rich cake then solo is as good as they come but sadly, we didn't have a rich cake and needed a grafter who wasn't going to throw away possession with flamboyant passes. Brilliant player, but a square peg in our round hole.

Like everyone says so hard to choose, so many good players, But JP, Steve Menzies and Danny Gartner for me. Pity is Concrete Karl isn`t in there he would have been one of my choices but who to leave out would have been a problem. Are we sure Karl never packed down in the second row for the Bulls?

I think (hope?) that by the end of next year Bateman might be demanding a place in the top three.

Very hard this one, had to go with Peacock and Menzies, but I popped in third, Lee Gilmour...he did a lot and also carried it on for Saints when he left us...a real unsung player... I think Karl did play Second Rower and ?? did he play in the very early season's of Super League ?? My mind cannot stretch that far back nowadays...

I thought Solomona was really good for us. Tackled hard, ran hard, but just threw the odd wild pass.

JP, Gartner, Menzies.

Karl definately played in the first Bulls season 1996, but can`t recall if he played as a second rower. Seem to remember he was used off the bench more then. Never the less he was a great back row forward. Just hope this group of promising kids can produce another with Karl`s attributes, maybe John Bateman will combine skill with no nonsense hardness.

Nobody will ever be as hard as Fairbank, they dont make them like that anymore, except me.

I went for Peacock, Gartner and Gilmour. Could have easily had Menzies, Morrison or Burgess though.

Easily the hardest position so far.

Gilmour wasnt really a backrower for us was he, always had him down as more of a centre.

Karl Fairbank and Roy Powell

Menzies, Peacock and Gartner.

So hard to choose, would have loved to include Elima, Dwyer, Forshaw.

I went for peacock,Dwyer and Gartner,then looked at the list again and thought how the hell could you leave Menzies out of any all time great list,then looked at the list again and saw that Worrincey had the same number of votes as Dwyer,one of my picks,so I thought best go to sleep

Peacock, Menzies, Gartner.

I went for Peacock (carried the pack at times in his final season with the Bulls) Gartner (Just a class act) and Morrison (His work rate was superb)

Agree mostly but I put Menzies in 3rd place - same work rate as Morrison with a wee bit less in defensive power but a lot more in pace/handling in attacking skills.

It's an absolute pig of a job, having to decide who was merely a 'great' player whilst someone else was 'outstanding', isn't it?

I disagree with Menzies producing the same work rate as Morrison and there's not much in it pace wise but yes Menzies does/did have that extra bit of class in making things happen and to do it at his age at top level is something else.

Nobody is better than Beaver. Jamie Peacock was outstanding.

must have changed my mind 50 times...

Peacock, menzies and burgees in that order...

ask again in 5 years time bateman would probably sneak in??

JP Bernard Forshaw

Beaver and Burgess and Gartner - pretty good for 4th through 6th best second rowers. Morrison bloody good for #7. Hoping Whitehead and Bateman force their way in amongst over the next few years.

Well, the voting has closed and the best Bulls Second Rower is... Jamie Peacock.

Second place and also securing a place in the team is the great Steve Menzies.

Third and a place in the subs vote is Daniel Gartner.

Easy.

The one and only Karl Fairbank,closely followed by Geoff Grayshon.
