I remember when Dannatt came back to the Boulevard with Saints for the first time I've never seen so many players tackle one man.I was half expecting the coaching staff to join in too

Stone & Tindall were great servants for the club , Skerrett played in an era that was great for the club , Some great tough forwards around then in that time . Harrison later was another when we had a very good pack under Brian Smith .

Another from the Power Pack of the fifties who should be considered is Bob Coverdale. He played with Mick Scott and Jim Drake and all three played for England.

Bob was a specialist blind side prop who played from 1951- 57 and he missed out on a Premiership win through injury and played in 3 losing Yorkshire Cup finals.

Greenhill, he was a decent prop, good go forward and solid defence.

Craig "Knuckles" is the best front row forward I have seen play for Hull FC, and possibly the toughest too. He never took a backward step, and had great defence...and kicked the odd goal...

I'll never ever forget when he leathered Barry Ward from St Helens.
