Had the pleasure to meet the great man over the weekend. Grey on top nowadays but still looks in good enough shape to take to the field.
Was also good to see Mike Smith, Roy Holstock, David Watkinson, Dave Hall and Phil Lowe together reminiscing about a famous day in our history..

One of the finest players ever to grace our shirt, wish we could find another one like him.

One of the reasons we were so good back then was because the majority of the squad had awesome "Power 'Taches".

had a good hour with the lads, even got a drink off Mike Smith, quality weekend

meet em' both too.

Most complete player I have seen

45 tries. Had to point him in the right direction though.

Great to hear some of the old names going to cheer this generation of Rovers players on.
God I used to love Gary Prohm and Mike Smith


What was Gary doing over this side of the world?Was he over this way on holiday?

Hull had a very good Kiwi centre in James Leuluai but even there fans would admit Prohm was a class above.

They had all copied Sammy Lloyd





Never, however both were class.

Wouldn't go that far. prohm was a great player though. I always begrudgingly liked gordon smith and broadhurst too

2 different, but very good players. Prohm was a great support player who was probably stronger than Leuluai. James could score a try from nothing and had possibly the best tow footed side step seen in RL for a long time.

Leulaui was great at what he did, but Prohm was comfortably the better all-round player.

Both great attackers, but Prohm was also strong enough to play loose-forward and was a magnificent defender.

He is the reason why none other than Gary Schofield failed to score even a single Derby try in 12 attempts!

prohm was a better all round player as he was more versatile but I'd say leuluai just edged being the better centre

Gary Prohm ...my fav player - period!!!

Ur not wrong there he was totally fab

Same - you didn't have names on the back of your shirt in those days, but I had a 4 on the back of my shirt, I'm even on video somewhere when interviewed on Scrumdown or RL Action as a teenager being asked who my favourite player was and saying Gary Prohm

As a kid growing up, watching Rovers and playing the game, I wanted to [ibe[/i Gary Prohm.

Unfortunately, it turned out, I couldn't be.

If only the t'interweb was around in the 80's, we could have had Prohmstalker!

Playing for your country must be the slide rule so here goes.

Leuluai, caps 29, tries 14, points 51. Played between 79 to 86.

Prohm, caps 23, tries 4, points 12. Played between 78 to 86..

I'm biased of course but IMO Jimmy Leuluai was better. If anyone can be bothered to find the Hull, Rovers facts and figures for each player, I would like to see them.

Prohm had power and pace in abundance, he actualy played on the wing once or twice when he first came over but made his name as a centre, especialy during that season when he scored forty odd ( forget the actual number) tries, great player and a real nice guy off the pitch also.

Flawed logic in the extreme.

Prohm played a variety of positions for the Kiwis .
But if try scoring is your measure as that post alludes too then Prohm scored 45 tries in a single season for Rovers
Leuluai didn't get near that figure but was a classy centre.
Prohm however had everything in his locker, was as quick if not quicker,stronger,better defender and turned David Laws into an international winger

prohm headed off to the nrl whilst leuluai went to leigh and doncaster.

Leuluai played for Manly in the mid 80s.

Both international class players with different strengths. We were both lucky to have them spend part of their careers playing in our city, simple as.
