i'll throw the mick crane one out there for discussion - i always thought of him as a classic loose forward, it was the presence of knocker that forced him into the back row on numerous occasions. grimaldi for me was more of a 13 than a second row though he played both positions for us

Thing about Knocker and Craney is that they weren't really Second Row forwards , they were just that good at 13 that they were so hard for Arthur to leave out, especially when we had an injury they'd be right in there at 11 or 12 but they still played a ball handling game. Having such outrageous class on the bench seems crazy I know but it happened in those heady days when we were spoilt rotten, and this was before rolling interchanges so like in football today subs didn't always get much game time.

anyone one who saw terry kirchin would say he was the best ball handling second row we had, plus paul rose was somebody who would rip it up today and hard bloke to, john muggleton to, lots to choose from really

Knocker is a shoe in for the loose forward position,so how can you not have mick crane in your side,for me an r/l genius,my all time favourite.

i think with all due respect to knocker and crane, there may well be another candidate for the LF
