Well with Rangi leaving, will be interesting to know who Cas supporters think is the best stand off we have ever had.

Must be a choice between. Hardisty, Burton, Steadman, and Chase.

I loved all 4 of them, but I think I'll give the nod to Chuck hardisty.

John Joyner.

Joyner for me, though I guess it's arguable about his best position

You could actually vote for Joyner in 3 categories - Centre, Stand-off and loose Forward. Classiest S/O I've ever seen but the Hardisty / Hepworth era was before my time.

Can't agree, JJ was a great player but predominantly a centre converted to Loose Forward and Stand off later in his career -also a true gent, , Burton, Steadman and Chase have all been greats stand off's but all lack the class, vision during a game and loyalty to Cas that Hardisty had, this puts him head and shoulders above the rest. He did however come second to Chase in one area - ego.....

Agree Casof 86. very true

John Joyner great loyal one man club, but not a stand off, played there a 3 or 4 years.
Not in same class as Chuck.

Anyone who never saw alan hardisty play wont appreciate how good he was.

In my time of waching cas from 1958 to present.
It as to be hardisty.
What chase does is magical, but he imo was never consistant game after game in conjuring up that magic.

Hardisty was consistant every game and was a brilliant stand off.

I would also say Hardisty was your greatest ever player.Also don't forget he kept out the young and also great Roger Millward who had to be transferred to do great things with Hull KR and GB.If they let Alan move and kept Roger I think a few would be saying Millward was our greatest

Mal Reilly was our best ever player - Joyner Hardisty and Hepworth right up there too

Dennis Hartley was he best prop we've ever had I think

All the players who were mentioned as the best no.6 all had different styles of play so it is difficult to choose.

Never watched Hardisty play but my late Dad always maintained he wouldn't have been as good a player had he not had Keith Hepworth as his half back partner.

Joyner and Steadman played in different positions as well as stand off, and they along with Hardisty also played in more successful teams than Chase has...he has practically carried our attack for the last few years so for me Rangi just shades it.

Hardisty was also an interception Expert he could read and time them to perfection
