Ok here are the 6 nominees for the 2 second row positions

1. Bob Taylor. Hailing from Cumbria, Taylor played for hull from 1919 to 1930 making 317 appearances. It was his try scoring feats which attracted most attention, he scored 165 times for hull, a club record for a forward, and scored 6 times in one game, also a club record. In season 1925/6 he crossed the line 32 times for hull and 4 times for GB, and broke over the 20 try barrier on another 3 occasions.

2. Bill Drake. The younger of the Drake twins, Bill was the try scoring ace in the feared 1950s panzer pack. from 1952-63 he played 294 times for hull, scoring 101 tries and kicking 53 goals. he won a championship medal with the club and made a losing appearance in the 1959 cup final. injury prevented a second appearance 1 year on.

3. Keith Boxall. Box or Rhino played in the lean times of the 1970s for hull making just over 300 appearances. Unusually for a second row he was short and powerfully built, most unlike the standard tall rangy forwards who dominated the position at that time. Boxall scored 98 tries for the club, and though quite a few games were in the second division he played at the top level for hull on many occasions, and was arguably the best player of that era.

4. Lee Crooks. Making his debut as a 17 year old in 1980, crooks went on to play 220 times for Hull, scoring 44 tries and kicking 400 goals. he appeared in 3 challenge cup finals and scored the winning try in the 1982 replay success over widnes at elland road. his career at hull ran from 1980 to 1987 when he was controversially sold against his wishes to leeds, but he went on to play over 250 games for castleford, and became one of very few players to reach legendary status at 2 different clubs.

5. Stephen Kearney. Had a very short FC career, playing only 24 times, but made a major impact both on and off the field, being regarded as the missing link in the promising Hull side of the mid noughties. He played every game of the challenge cup run which cumulated in triumph in cardiff in 2005. sent off in his last game for the club against bradford.

6. Willie Manu. Manu played for the club between 2007 and 2012. Signed from castleford where he came to prominence as a wide running back rower, manu upped his game at hull, scoring 36 tries for the club, and being credited with numerous assists and tackle busts wide out on the left hand side. Arguably Hull's best player since the millennium.

Bill Drake was hard fast and not a bad ball handler , working in tandem with brother Jim they would be relentless when the going got tough. Mick Crane also can't be ignored on these fronts and also had that X factor which sometimes took games by the scruff of the neck and gained a win when all looked lost. I would also include young Lee Crooks before his move to Front row as he had all these skills and was a great goalkicker.
