Sad loss and a good bloke
Apart from the obvious, 91 Premiership win, I will always remember the dg he scored away at Warrington when we beat them there 3-2 in a Saturday afternoon game.
RIP
What a game that was, it was on ITV with Clive Tyldsley commentating and Mal Menninga doing the half time summarising, He was amazed we had defences like that in this country.
When Greg put that last minute drop goal over Clive Tyldsley simply said "heartbreaker"..... and befitting a team with Greg Mackey in it both sides left the field to a standing ovation.
RIP a real nice bloke and bloody good Rugby League player.
RL's a tough game made harder when people like Greg Mackey are taken too soon. Happy memories of Greg in Black & White. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Boy were the Warrington fans getting at him all afternoon too!! he shut em up though after 80 minutes of sheer power tackling from both sides! He refused to be intimidated and said in the HDM afterwards, “If they had hoped to put me off, then they certainly didn’t, the more they chanted the more I wanted to inspire Hull to victory”. Lovely fella, great to talk to, had time for everyone a real leader from half back too, Smithy once said, "There was no better player than Greg Mackey to have on your side" such a shame, true hero!!!
"You fu*king beauty!" RIP Greg Mackey!
