Johnny Whiteley was before my time but recognised as a great player at a time when GB had 3 great loose forwards with Turner and Karalius.

Mick Crane was good for Leeds in 1978 and good for FC & KR but I’m surprised you’d pick him ahead of Knocker who won everything with FC and the NRL with Manly, but it’s all opinions. Knocker was big mates with Les Dyl and nearly signed for Leeds but cas pulled out at last minute, shame for Leeds, great for Hull.

Shocking decision to get rid of Him Bullseye



Dave Heron was one hell of a player and IMO he would have been even better suited to the SL style
His balance and running style was so hard to defend against and was also bloody quick too

Re that Hull team, I'd have Knocker Norton in there ahead of Crane. When you won the comp it was him and Topliss pulling the strings.

Crane on his day, which is what I was talking about with these players, was completely unplayable, a maverick and nobody, himself included, knew what he'd do when he got hold of the ball. He had so much natural ability he didn't have to try, which is probably why he never trained and often went missing for certain periods, shame really as if he had the application he'd have been one of the true all time greats of the game, but I am talking about a player that smoked and would sort his bets out as a priority over RL. On his day though a talent that in my opinion, few could match. Over a sustained period of time, I agree Norton achieved greatness but never outshone Crane when both were at their peak, I'd humbly submit.

Hope you are right. Think we will still be a bit behind those 2 and plenty of others in FC will be competitive. Glad FC don’t have a Crane or Knocker to link up with Connor, Reynolds and Gale

I’ll go for a team based on pure ability, not necessarily what they won, or How long they played well for.
