Lee Crooks
Gary Schofield
Lee Jackson
Willie Manu
Jason Smith
Stephen Kearney
Richard Swain.

They offered him a deal which his agent thought he could do better, by the time he came back to the table the deal had been withdrawn and the money was planned for other players.

Forgot about Crooks and Schofield.

I thought the dobbins offered briscoe 10k more than us and we wouldnt match it .and josh hodgson only wanted a car to get to and from training we said no the dobbins said yes ... Please remind me who was our chairwomen then ?

Defo the legendary Peter sterling , richard swain and paul cooke was the major ones for me

Recently i would choose Paul King, forget his failings he was a cracking prop with the X factor when he wanted to be and he loved his club

People keep saying Swain but was he even offered a new deal by Hull, seem to remeber him retiring, same with Kearney and Barnett Snr.

Jason Smith was class, but seem to remember us allowing him to leave, maybe wrong as I was only a kid.

Interested to see Sterling in a few peoples picks, before my time but heard lots about him. What was the story surrounding his exit then, did Hull try and keep him?

Seem to remember Koe Love causing problems everytime he had the ball, had the ability to go the full length of the field

Carvell was our best prop at the time.

and Cooke well love him or loathe him our attack suffered massively for a few season, some may say its never been the same. The challenge cup and grand final season were built around him and Hornes partnership.

Out of the three I would Say Cooke was the biggest miss over the years.

I cried me eyes out when Crooks left.

Did he reveal in his book his decision for it at the time?

all explained here superleague supermen Lee Crooks episode

Peter Sterling

Lee Jackson

Richard Swain

Willie Manu

My list of players I was glad to see leave the club is a lot longer

the list of players I wish we'd never signed is probably as long!

...yep that would be a long one as well

Lee Crooks

Tevita Vaikona

Lee Jackson

Karl Harrison

Paul Cooke

Arthur Buntin

not in posession of the rumours about what went on, clearly.

Lee Crooks - can't overstate how bad that whole episode was
Lee Jackson
Karl Harrison
Garry Schofield - hurt at the time, but in retrospect can't blame him for wanting to return to his hometown club
Len Casey - we were a poor team in every respect and he was a rising star going to the enemy

Karl Harrison
Lee Jackson
Paul Sterling (one of my favourites)
Tevita Vaikona
Tony Grimaldi
Paul Cooke
Gareth Carvell
Jamie Thackray (for non rugby reasons)

Forgot about mackey . Class player

Most of above plus Aussie hooker Owens who tamed the best second row pairing at the time Ramshaw/Clawson after one of them thumped him in srum 1960's
Can't beleave no one mentioned [ I can do that Macca going back to Auss

Schofield and Crooks for sure, it certainly felt like the end of an era.

In the Super League era Cooke and Swain, especially leaving in a short space of time.

Going back a few years but the break up of the 1991 Premiership winning team over the space of about 18 months losing the likes of

K harrison
G Mackey
P entat
L Jackson

And the tat that replaced then, damaged the on field fortunes for years.

Agreed that was a real low point to see that side taken apart. Could have gone on to achieve so much.
