IMO our best ever prop of the super league era. Im sure we have a replacement lined up and we must give Powell and the club the benefit of the doubt. Whoever comes in to replace him has huge boots to fill.


Akauola or Hill?

I think we are all in that boat Moe. I know we are biased but that team deserved a GF win if only for the style of rugby that was a delight to watch. Not forgetting that season when we scored over a 1000 points ......

Chris Hill has been a very good player for us for 10 years and considering the number of NRL based forwards in the England team over the last 10 years suggests that he was the standout English forward in SL in that period.
He was an ankle tap on Kallum Watkins away from being a world cup winner.
I can't remember Mamo mentioning Hill in his famous interview but maybe he was part of the positive reinforcement crew along with Mamo and Lineham that have been sent on their way.
There are not many players left that were senior players at the end of the Tony Smith era. Just Cooper and Ratchford left really.

And Westwood who was equivalent of a prop playing in the second row.

There were a lot of other good packs about then as well though. Leeds had a great pack and Wigan, Huddersfield were handy with big eorl.
