yep by a country mile. Schoey 88-92 when he still had his pace was a pleasure to watch, there wasn't much he couldn't do.

Iestyn at his peak - he had the lot

Lewis jones , Holmes/schofield, shoebottom in that order. But they were all different with different skill sets; right now I'd have any at their peak but Jones could make dog poo outside him look good, so him. Although at today's prices we would have to spend400k to get him - can't see that happening

he was class. always wonder what impact he could have had on the international game had he not gone to Union in his peak and got ruined.

Schoey for me but also Harris was quality on his day especially behind Muzzas pack.

Cliff Lyons. Terrified me with ball in hand. Tough. Great ball player. Consistent. Performed at the highest level. Had he played the full season in 88/89 Leeds would've won more than the Yorkshire Cup.

He was primarily a centre before 1990? Who first picked him at stand off? Ward?
