I'd guess that against the backdrop of the overlong drawn out Orford affair, along with MP still being employed by Saints at the time, it was a case of taking what was available at a late stage. The club/Potter clearly weren't too certain hence the one year deal. It's a shame for the lad and he had his moments, and he's had a fair shot, but he's hardly done enough to earn a new deal. I wish him all the best for the future.

Herbert's agent is now a sand salesman in Saudi Arabia. Doing very well too.

I heard his agent was a Mr Offiah? Got a good record of compiling you-tube videos of his clients!

Yes, I'm sure that's right, it's just that now we know Herbert is leaving the sport, I wonder how keen he actually was on playing a few more years when he was being offered to us.

I wonder if all of you who were so quick to condemn B4C for getting it completely right about Herbert from the off will be as quick to come on here and apologise?

I very much doubt it. Not in their make up I am afraid.

Well he'll go down as one of the greats alongside Nick Zisti and Errol Johnson.

Nah, not in the same class. Marc isn't our greatest import, but he had a few decent games for us, and in truth showed some skill and endeavour, whilst..............................

Ok then Hudson Smith and Justin Brooker.

Had almost forgotten about them two

I raise you, Phil Howlett

You could make a Bulls one season wonders XIII out of some of these.....

1. Howlett
2. Zisti
3. Brooker
4. Costin

7. Herbert

10. Smith

13. Rigon

Shane Rigon became a good player.

Still puzzles me to this day , how a player who was possibly the most ordinary half back in super league ( even by most Bulls fans admittance ) could produce such a high quality performance as he did at Headingley this year , I wasn't the only one scratching my head as I left the ground that night

Costin was class!!

Left wing : Patrick Ah Van

Add Shaun Edwards to that list.

Rikki's got to be a cert for No5.

1. Howlett
2. Zisti
3. Brooker
4. Costin
5. Baby Lesley
6. Edwards
7. Herbert

joe tamani on the bench
woooo joe tamani!!!

Tamani was a beast.

Andy Hodgson was another player who could have made it into the backline.

Fair okay to him, still young obviously has a brain and will have a back up once his rugby is over. It says in t&a he is finishing his degree so I doubt he is calling time on his rugby league it's probably just a short break of a year.

what about tahi reihana? and didn't graham mackay only play one year for us? he would get in above any other winger mentioned so far.

I thought Herbert had a few good games for us but was a bit slow at times getting the ball out. he also became quite predictable with the short flat ball to Elima used regularly. I've no hard feelings against him though, he was a tryer but not quite the player we needed.

And the lad who signed for us in the first super league season, never played a game. Think he was called Michael Paris or something like that. Aussie school boy (but then so were BJ and Jim Gannon)

How about:

1. Howlett
2. Zisti
3. Brooker
4. Hassan
5. Sheriffe
6. Longo
7. Herbert
8. Hamer
9. Higham (only cos he never got to play, and I was running out of ideas)
10. Reihana
11. Knox
12. Wittenberg
13. Swann

14. Tomlinson
15. Tupou
16. Donougher
17. Jowitt
