Seriously are you basing this on his Hull or Saints performances?

Surprised no one has included Kelly.

1. Briscoe (for those 4 tries at Odsal in 2004)
2. Best
3. Barnett (senior)
4. Yeaman
5. Raynor
6. Horne
7. Sneyd
8. O'Meley
9. Swain
10. Carvell
11. Ellis
12. Fitzgibbon
13. Jason Smith

Couldn't agree more with you here... I think Head had one stand out game at Leeds away but I don't seem to remember him being consistently class, same with Dykes

Richard Horne

Ratu Naulago
Carlos Tuimevave
Kirk Yeaman
Gareth Raynor

Albert Kelly

And I have to have a bench spot for Richard Whiting.

He should have played there more.

Ellis and Danny Brough would have been in had we signed them at their peak, McMenemy , Scott Logan Paul King Motu Tony Shaun Briscoe,Tom Briscoe, Matthew Dykes and Sidney Domic were also great for us. Had Dykes been fit at Wembley in 2008, we may well have beaten Saints that day.

Scott Logan was ok - never great. McMenemy was massively underrated. Sign him from an Aussie side we would have classed him as a great import, but signing him from Halifax kind of went against him.

IWe didn't get Ellis at his peak, but for me, he has to be in the back row. He captained us to 2 x Wembley wins, back to back, and completely dominated virtually every collision he was in

Sorry GB but Ellis should be the first name in there.

O'Meley and Fitzgibbon were good signings but both past their peak.

That's opinions for you isn't it? I loved Ellis, but for me Adam Maher was also a great player, massively under rated and his defence was immaculate, Willie Manu was awesome and so good for us in a decidedly average squad. Ellis did dominate collisions , no doubt, but his injury record wasn't great and he had definitely peaked at Wests. O'Meley and Fitzgibbon, while past their best, were both origin and full Aussie internationals, plus Fitzy was a handy kicker. Be nice to have all three next year wouldn't it?

Surprised you didn't put Connor full back !

Agree thought full back was always hornes best position esp early days with his pace

Noticed Jason Smith making pretty much every list and rightly so

Imo our best player in the Super league era by a country mile no one gets close to him was a class above esp 2001 and 2002

A few peripherals ones, for me -

Shaun Berrigan
Sam Moa
Fonua (first stint)
Craig Fitzgibbon

Best signing to never happen -

Michael Crocker

I think I could chop and change my personal best 13, but Best, Swain, Smith, Kearney and Cooke feature in all variations.

I was a little disappointed with berrigan expected much more given he was in the Australia squad year before we signed him

Was expecting him to be Jason Smith type quality

Good call. Sam Moa was a very astute signing. He'd only played 1 NRL game before he came over and was very raw. I remember he made his debut away at Hudds' and he was clearly out of shape but worked hard and went on to have a very good career in SL and back in the NRL and gained international honours.

Berrigan came over as our starting hooker but because of injuries was played all over the place. For me his best position was centre but he hardly played there and we never saw the best of him.

Fonua was great first time but should never have been brought back. I noticed that he got a bit of stick last week from some fans which I thought was pretty poor. Sneyd gets a bit of abuse as well which I just don't get.

Fitzgibbon was a machine and gave us real leadership but his body gave up on him.

The most disappointing signing for me on reputation was Matt Sing. He was a regular international and origin player but never really stood out while he was here.

Berrigan would have been immense for us if we had sufficient quality around him, you could see at times he was 5 steps ahead of anyone in that team, he also suffered from been moved round playing, Hooker, centre, halves and even at loose. That's not what you do with your best player.

Has everyone forgotten about Albo?

No, he got my number 6 jersy.

Nope he was in mine

Actually think imo apart from Jason Smith and Swain the 3rd best overseas player in our super league era

On his day was unplayable

Been around since time immemorial, Sully had bananas thrown at him by Threepennies on his first appearance back for Rovers. Think he picked one up and ate it, he was class.

Nathan Blacklock for a wing position?
