Another from the Power Pack of the fifties who should be considered is Bob Coverdale. He played with Mick Scott and Jim Drake and all three played for England.



Bob was a specialist blind side prop who played from 1951- 57 and he missed out on a Premiership win through injury and played in 3 losing Yorkshire Cup finals.

who was the aussie prop who dropped 2 Saints players in one match

Greenhill, he was a decent prop, good go forward and solid defence.

Craig "Knuckles" is the best front row forward I have seen play for Hull FC, and possibly the toughest too. He never took a backward step, and had great defence...and kicked the odd goal...



I'll never ever forget when he leathered Barry Ward from St Helens.

he split opinions but i always liked greenhill - not top class enough to make our list but was a pretty consistent forward who did a lot of minutes



and, yes he is exactly the kind of prop we need now

Just looked at his stats from 2003, made 3594 metres (2nd in SL), 73 tackle busts and 34 offloads.



As you have said, I would love to have a similar player in our side now (I think we did in Lynch, but will stupidly released him).

Losing Lynch was a tough one but the person in charge of recruitment (that wasn't Gentle at that point btw) decided not to keep him or replace him like for like and still hasn't (& losing 3 props + ticks, Briscoe & effectively Macdonnel from 2013 there was plenty of cap). our props are bang average, oh for a Mick Scott or a fit Skerrett.

Trevor skerrett and mick harrison from what ive seen,though harold bowmans record speaks volumes.

i'll put the nominees up later tonight (didn't want this lost in the easter derby fallout). are there any more shouts?

OK so the proposed nominees for Prop are



1. Harold Bowman. Between 1921 and 1935 Bowman made 451 appearances for Hull putting him at 3rd on the all time list. During his career he scored 75 tries with a seasons best of 16. He also represented GB and toured Australia



2. Mick Scott. Scott is second on Hull's all time appearance list with 459 made between 1948 and 1963. A mainstay of the mighty pack in the clubs glory years of the 1950s he scored 43 tries and won 2 championship titles. Died in an accident on the docks at only 37.



3. Jim Drake. The elder of the Drake twins, Jim was the other prop in the fifties legendary pack. He made 243 appearances for the club scoring 38 tries.



4. Mick Harrison. Harrison was a stalwart of the side during the leaner years of the late 60s and seventies. A hard no nonsense figure he became the club's enforcer and his worth was recognised by GB for whom he played 7 times.



5. Trevor Skerrett. The welshman was signed in 1980 for 40k a significant figure then and a record for a prop. he played a key role in the success of the early 80s teams. He played 154 games for Hull scoring 18 tries. Only a series of injuries later in his FC career prevented a greater set of stats.



6. Karl Harrison. Along with Andy Dannatt and Lee Jackson, Harrison formed part of the great front row of the Brian Smith years. He was signed from Featherstone for 57k and made 86 appearances for hull, winning the Premiership trophy in 1991

Given we've moved on to the forwards, how does the back line look now it's complete?



[size=50Still think Tommy Finn is our greatest 7.[/size

Additional info on Mick......................... From 1953 to 1960 he played in 4 Yorkshire Cup finals, 3 consecutive Championship finals(a captain in one of the 2 winning sides), 2 Wembley Cup finals and played in the Hull team that won the European Club Championship in 56/57. In this period Hull each year competed in at least 1 final. Mick also played for England.
