I've been watching since roughly the turn of the millennium so I would have to say Rangi and Gale. Both on there day are unreal.

Closely followed by Sean Rudder. Can still remember his first game. Friendly away at Huddersfield we were all buzzing to see him play and we lost something like 34-0. Awesome evening.

Going from players I’ve seen: as a pair Mike Ford and Tony Kemp were awesome in the 1993/94 season. Individually, no one comes close to Rangi Chase. I also like Danny Brough in his 18 months at Cas

Rangi Chase most individually talented player I have seen and tbh, even though I wasn't fortunate to see the Hardisty, Reilly, Hrpworth era, I imagine Rangi is probably the most gifted ball-skillwise we have ever had down the lane.
Steadman was always my hero as a kid although he had many good years at full back for us.

Good shout. Ford and Kemp were a great pairing.
Brought was brilliant at times too.

As an individual, Rangi Chase was the most gifted I’ve seen. He could do things I’ve never seen before or since.
Sometimes think people forget how good Danny Orr was before he left for Wigan.

I'd have liked to have seen sherwin play behind a dominant pack, the guy was class but played in a very poor team for us. I know ferres said he was the best half back hes ever played with and he has played with some decent players. On excitement and quality though I'd say chase and gale. Although we didnt do bad with sneyd and finn
