Precisely.

The greatest ever Salford player has to have been Augustus John Ferdinand Risman (427 games, 143 tries, 796 goals) but you could throw in James Lomas (312 games, 210 tries, 470 goals), David Watkins (405 games (+2), 147 tries, 1225 goals, 16 D.G.'s).

Then I know of a guy that would swear on Jackie Brennan, it's all about opinions. I would say Neil Baker but lets remember he was only here 17 matches (a fine spell it was mind :D ).

For me greatness depends on how long you've been at a club and how long your performances have remained at the top level. We've all seen players be great for a season or even longer but how many have been great for years?

As for Blakeley he's an enigma, Marmite you may say, you either love him of loath (Ok thats a bit strong) him.

:CLAP: Love him or hate him, 163 consecutive appearances should make Stuart Littler a Salford legend in anyone's book :CLAP:

Keith Fielding was awesome but for me it has to be the great David Watkins, he was my very first sporting hero

Best player i've seen for salford as i've only been watching for about 6 years is probably richie myler! most creative anyway, can produce that bit of magic that can turn a game! Also thought Dunneman was class!

also read my last post,as i said in an earlier post, how do you describe the greatest player? to me its pride in the shirt end of. we cannot afford the worlds best players. it all depends on how much you want to wear the shirt and to me charlie was bought as a stop gap when we first went down, but to me he wanted to play for salford. that will do me.

In my lifetime David Watkins.He had the lot.
Ken Gill was brilliant but far better with Banner than Nash (who was better at Fev than the Willows.)
Maurice Richards was awesome.
Paul Charlton played against us for Workington,some time before he signed for us, and he stopped all our stars in their tracks.We tend to remember him for his attack but he was also one of the best defensive fullbacks ever and,at the time,spoken of in the same tones as JPR.
