All time greatest Hull FC team No.6 - Stand Off : Fri Feb 27, 2015 10:06 pm  

Please put forward your suggestions for the stand off position. as it is a single position there will be 5 nominations. i think it is fair to say that this is a position we haven't always been traditionally strong in over the years, but its up to you to prove otherwise

Probably one of the most straight forward choices.

David Topliss. One of our greats even though we didn't sign him until he was 31 and he was only at the club for four seasons. But what an amazing four seasons they were.

Think I'm right in saying he was the only Hull captain to lead us to Championship and Challenge Cup success.

My first choice thinking quick would be topliss , but what does Horne come under , scrum half ?

Bit controversial, but does paul cooke qualify??

I'd have thought so seen as he played stand off for hull , but in my eyes always played the scrum half role .

Difficult one this as we haven't had anyone playing there for a long time at the highest level. Some good 2-3 season players but no 5 years plus top class players I can think of. I agree about Topliss and Mackey. As has been mentioned what does Horne count as? If he is a stand off then a definite contender.

yeah horne is going in the stand off role, he played 7 for a while as well as other positions but think he played 6 more than the other positions. he's got to slot in somewhere so 6 it is. and he was at 6 during the cup winning season (cooke 13 and brough 7)
