If there was a "play of the decade" it would have to have been his chargedown at Cardiff.

Not Cookes winning try?

We were still behind after that score.

Broughs winning goal

Richard Swain for me

Jason Smith very close

Stevie Prescott



Cookie - never ever rated him to be honest, but he did make me smile at Cardiff!

i would say swain but a close second kearney , wot he did in that challenge cup year of 2005 was immense , a true leader and giant on and off the pitch

Swainy- best player in terms of overall influence on the team.



Jason Smith- best player in terms of being able to do something on the pitch that made you think, wow!!



put smiths brain into swains body and attitude and i think you'd be hard pushed to find a better player anywhere in the noughties!

Theres been many great players over the past ten years my top 6 are,



Matt Sing,

Adam Mahar,

Stephen Kearney,

Jason Smith,

Steve Presscott

& Richard Swain.



It has to be Richard Swain.



Never forget that match when he banged his head on the floor and was knocked out cold, but still managed to get up and still wanted to come back on and play.



Was that against Saints? I remember watching the replay on the big screen so it must have been on sky.

no probs with the rest but Matt Sing

Don't know how you can even compare Matt Sing with Paul Cooke. Sing hasn't even been our best winger from the noughties. Id have Raynor, Best and possibly Blacklock over the Matt Sing WE saw.

If you forget about the way Cooke left the club, he ran the show for us for our 2 most succesful seasons (2005 & 2006) and was an important player for us ever since he came into the team in 1999. I dont like the way he left the club more than anyone else but credit were its due Paul Cooke was a very important player for us during the noughties.

Still Swain and Smith for me overall though

Swain or Jason Smith.
