Please put forward your nominations for the back row. we are looking at a short list of 6 to proceed to the vote



Again this is a position we have been pretty strong in over the years. I don't usually express an opinion on these threads, largely leaving it up to you but i will be very cross and frankly amazed if Bob Taylor doesn't end up in one of the positions

Bob Taylor as you suggest should be in there. 307 appearances between the wars. Our fourth highest all time try scorer with 164. In 1925-26 he scored 32 for Hull plus 4 for England, the total of 36 being a RL record for a forward that stood for almost fifty years. He also held the club record for tries in a match with six which stood for forty seven years.

Darling Lee Crooks.

Terry Reagan

Stephen Kearney and Sean Ryan for me

Mick crane if he's classed as a 2nd row. different class.

2 of my favourites from the great 50's team Harry Markham and Bill Drake.



My dad talked about the exploits of Bob Taylor.

Boxall , Lloyd , Divet, Crooks , Maher , Manu , Regan , Tickle & Kearney are some of my favorite players over the years in that position .

Sean ryan? Jesus... the man never broke a tackle in his fc career. ..... anyways, each to there own

Shane mcmenemy. ... underated..... does tony grimaldi count? He was class..... but willie manu has to be our shout of 2nd rower of the decade at fc, differant class that man.. i honestly though fc had seen the best of him, but since hes left, hes won a grand final and now plays in the nrl for the roosters.( probably down to fitzgibbon) .. how wrong was i......

Of the post 2000 players i would consider Manu the best along with Kearney - but with him we are into the 'did he play for us long enough' debate again. But Manu yes, he is a great shout for consideration

Not wanting to pre-empt the vote for loose forward but what about Knocker and Mick Crane
