Hasler, Swain, Barnett Snr

I come in peace





I agree with you on Barnett and Swain, Barnett was so classy in attack and hit like a train in defence, had we signed he 2 years earlier he would have been a Hull FC legend.



Swain was the hardest working player I have seen in a Hull shirt, he make the hard things look so simple, he acting half play was the best I have ever seen.



I really liked Hasler and I think he was a bit unlucky at Hull for two reasons, winter rugby, he would have been a miles better player in summer rugby and the team that was around him at the time.



personally ability wise I haven't seen a better player than Jason Smith, he would b in my top 3 instead of Hasler.

Problem with Smith wasn't what he did on the pitch, but that's old ground.



Kearney worked hard, Grimaldi was a grafter, Entat and Mackay where both very good, West was a flyer.



The three that never realised their potential, King, Rob Roberts and Dykes, the latter for very different reasons to the first two.

Interesting....the first 3 names I thought of we're



80's - Paul Eastwood (my fav player as a kid),

90's - Tevita Vailkona

00's - Richard Swain



but already reading other peoples choices I am stuck. I'd never seen anything like Barnett SNR flying out of the defensive line and knocking his opposite number into next week (if only Yeamo still did this, I'm sure he used to)



I guess I will stick with my wingers coz I like tries and length of the field tries.



Jason Smith just looked a class apart but Swain gets the nod because he was a consummate professional

Didn't rate anyone from the 80's?

Topliss, Kemble, Skerrett, much better players than we've had in recent times.

Skerrett was a modern style prop imo. One of my favourites.

Jason smith is by far the best player I have seen play for hull. To young for the 80s so I will go

Smith swain vikona.

I think fizgibon could of been in there had he been at hull at a better time that man was a machine!!!

I know vikona was only 1st division for us but he smashed it and proved with Bradford he could do it at the top.

Paul Woods , Simon Booth / Andy Ireland & Matt Crowther

Simon Booth ended up teaching at Sydney smith while I was still there. He got some right stick about his hull days of me and my mates. He was a top bloke tho (away from FC )
