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.
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......
