You did it on puprpose.

Gartner - won titles on both sides of the world.

Michael Worrincy or Jamie Peacock?

Shontayne Hape or Graeme Bradley?

Rules clarification please: best as in whole career, or in terms of what they did for us?

Robbie Paul

Joe Vagana

Lesley Vainikolo

Danny Gartner

Out of Anderson and Vagana i'd probably argue Anderson. It's a shame he left when he did, he still performed at the top level for a few years later.

Looking at the way they played, Anderson did break tackles for fun. I'll always remember the hand off against Connerly when we played Leeds.

Henry Paul or Ellery Hanley.. Henry was class in everything he did. But Hanley was perhaps the greatest player I have ever seen..maybe of all time to play the game...Hanley just gets my vote..

Henry Paul is without a doubt one of the best players I have seen in their prime.

Robbie
Big Joe
The Volcano
Danny Gartner

I loved Anderson but Joe's shot on Senior which changed the entire course of the season just swings it for me.

I think the move was good for Ando. He wasn't playing at anything near his best when he left and only went as the then management thought he was the weakest Prop (allowing for his age, more than likely, as well as performance) and they wanted to bring someone else in. The fresh scene and challenge worked for him though and as you say he was still playing well a few years later.

My favourite Ando moment was the photo which appeared in the press, in full colour in some, of him bursting through some tackles and a ref, looking terrified, was running to get out of his way. A classic.

No rules. Up to you.

Karl Fairbank or Jamie Peacock?

Tough one, Peacock just for me.

Spruce or Withers

Fairbank was a monster that people were afraid of. Peacock was awesome for us but I'd rather take Fairbank. Beast.

Withers is god.

withers; something slightly different: Brad or Graham Mackay?

graham for me as he was almost unstoppable close to the line

iestyn harris v neil summers

Great player though he was, Fairbank never excelled at international level. Largely because the Wigan pack stood in his way I think.

Withers ahead of Spruce, his support play was some of the best I've seen.

Harris over Summers. If you leave all the off field shenanigans out of it Harris "on" the field was a better player, even after he'd lost his pace.

Forshaw or Brad Mackay?

withers was superb for bulls, harris or summers.. i'd go for summers he had bags of paces, great tackler and 100 percent effort he put in

Robbie the x factor, on and off the field
Vagana not sure what but had something extra
LV loved TV but Vainikolo was one of the best ever
Danny Gartner solid, reliable, classy
Peacock led an awesome pack
Withers class act, amazing support
Harris even not at his very best with us, still better than summers
Forshaw just cos he did it over years, Mackay was awesome but only saw him 1 year

Hape or Newlove?????

Mmm, tough one. I'll go for Micky Withers, though I'd take Sir Keith, in his pomp, over either.

Brian Noble or Jimmy Lowes?

Jimmy. Undoubtedly if you look at input to "Northern/Bulls" it's be Nobby, but just on the pitch, Jimmy. You just never knew what you were going to get - sublime . . . . or just down right naughty

Nobby was a hero of mine but Lowes took it to a different level at hooker. Nobby would get my vote if we had proper scrums but Lowes wins through for his skills.

I'd take Newlove over Hape. Newlove could score from anywhere on the field on his own.

I think robbie over deacs was really tough as robbie helped us take on that next level whereas deacs helped us continue it. off field robbie was priceless and contributed as much as on pitch. Deacs suffered a lot of criticism for being too selfless and not taking on line so was a team player but you could always see how much he offered when he was not there as we looked lost.

Big joe for me over baloo, anderson was amazing at his peak but we got tons more value for money in terms of injuries and consistency. In defence joe was a monster.
I loved TV from minute he arrived and watched les on his international debut before he had even played for canberra and liked him too but i think TV was my favourite (les was a freak and poss best winger we will ever see) TV one of first to take ball from dummy half on such a regular and destructive way helped provide tons of position for us in the early days - he fought off competition and form slumps, and even ended his contract early to let some of kids have a go and help us replace within salary cap!!

Gartner was good in defence and had a good solid offload but morrison was always just such all action and determination. Glenn may not have retired so soon if he put his body first before the team.

Sprogger was a great full back and solid, withers i always felt was a centre who worked well at full back.
peacock or fielden is prob a good comparison as i see the worrincy one not a comparison.
Never really saw a lot of hanley but henry was one of best natural stand offs i have seen.
Jimmy lowes better than noble as a modern no9 but two different players in different eras.
Hape over bradley but only just

oh and my two are costin and rigon - both played varied roles and were valuable squad players
