Don't think anyone on this thread has mentioned Bob Beardmore, he must be up there with the best? Isn't he?

Garry Belcher was a great player, but i don't think he played many games i remember him having to cut is stay short after a bad injury against ST'S where he nearly had is balls torn off

He was a fantastic player it was sad his season at Cas was cut short.

I was lucky enough to see most of his games at Canberra in the late eighties on video (anybody else used to get the Micron Video tapes from the video shop off Bradley Street)?...what a backline they had...Belcher,Ferguson,Meninga,Daley,Stuart etc

The 1989 Aussie Grand Final is one of the best R.L games ive ever seen!

He was great....i went with Mike Ford in by side but it was a close call. Not only Bob but Brad Davis and Danny Brough wouldn't have looked out of place in and best XIII.

Bob was a very good player, i went to school with Kev, & Bob, i just watched them both a Wembley against KR, he was one of the best but there is a fare few to pick from

as an outsider surprised not to hear bruce burton or knocker norton mentioned i suppose knocker may have "matured" in australia and come back a better player than when he left but i thought burton who was at the centre of the "high speed cas" days would warrant a mention also not a great player but the best kicker ive seen sammy lloyd

Likewise with Derek Edwards, cannot believe some of the older fans on here have not mentioned him.
