Best & Worst Combined 13 : Wed Nov 20, 2019 4:53 pm  
Just a bit of fun to get us through the off season

3 - Saxton
4 - Eager
5 - Crookes
6 - Seymour
7 - Thorman
8 - Hutch Maiava
9 - Howarth
10 - Lauaki
11 - Galea
12 - McNicholas
13 - Paul Johnson

Best
1 - Prescott
2 - Fonua
3 - Barnett
4 - Yeaman
5 - Briscoe
6 - Horne
7 - Sneyd
8 - Taylor
9 - Swain
10 - Watts
11 - Ellis
12 - Minichiello
13 - Cooke

Kiwi Michael Smith absolutely awful in black and white but played for the Kiwis in the last match at The Boulevard STINKER.

Only change I'd make would be Cooke and Horne at 6/7, Ellis and Manu (better than Mini) and jason Smith at LF (Best player I have seen in a Hull shirt)

Some good players Mini, Carvell, Talanoa, Best, Houghton, Sneyd, Raynor etc not making the side

I thought on the pitch Tansey was pretty good, wouldn't have him in at FB, I'd have Todd Byrne at FB.

I'd have Ben Sammut at full back. Awful. Never forgive him for letting a bomb bounce away at Saints once that they scored from

It was between Byrne and Tansey tbh, i went with Tansey though as he couldn't behave off the pitch. He got himself sacked at the start of a season (2011?) and we had to draft Phelps in

I wanted to put Best in. HIs combo with Barnett was great to watch.

Can't believe i missed out Jason Smith :shock:

If you are basing it performances than Tansey was streets ahead of Byrne, there was a spell were he was fantastic, absolute nightmare off the pitch though. Byrne was the very very average.

Best over briscoe, and I’d have to put greenhill in instead of Taylor, just because I loved watching him play

Greenhill was decent, very tough and solid, but I'd have Taylor, Carvell, O Meley in front of him..

Actually! O’meley, Greenhill front row for me, a bit of biff! Taylor as much as I like him, think he’s a little overrated, even when at his best, was poor for me last season
