| Cuthberston?
On the evidence shown so far he must be the prime contender? Without diminishing the contributions/impact made by the likes of Webb, Lauititi and Buderus.....our latest recruit is fast becoming the most important element in anything we do in attack. His offloads are sublime and accurate; his passing skills as good as any respectable centre and he can score tries too (no more prop-one-try-a-season expectations !!)

| Webb & Lauititi by miles. Come back in a few years and we'll talk about Cuthbertson.

Fair comment ,but the other players you have mentioned played a big part in winning SL several times .Cuthbertson has only played 8 games? ,but it looks like he could be up there with them

Time will indeed tell...but I was careful to to state "on the evidence so far". Things might change, but somehow I can't see it. The guy is a joy to watch and does his fair share of graft too

| He's good but he ain't no Ben Cross.
In all seriousness though he's started very well and I think a key part of it is he and Aiton seem to really click out there together and both players performances have been enhanced by having the other out there.

| I really like Cuthbertson, he's made a massive difference but to say he's the best oversea's signing in the last 10 years is maybe pushing it, especially when we've been graced with Lauitiiti, Webb and Buderus.
Webb (pre back injury) was outstanding, Lauitiiti was like watching someone who played RL in a way we'd never see before. Buderus will, to this day, be the best hooker the Rhinos have seen.
I don't think I could say which was our 'best' of the above as they all (Cuthbertson included) brought a different skill set to the Rhinos.

| Cuthbertson? he's been here all of 5 minutes! Yes, he's impressed with his workrate and skills, and it looks like the Sleeve has pulled it off again, but surely April is a bit early to be getting giddy?
If I had to pick one, it would be an injury free Big Ali for me, although Webb and Buderus make an equally good choice. Hell, even that ginger fella who used to play on the wing might get a mention....

| Lautiti. Longevity, skils and success.
I'm enjoying watching Cuthbertson. He's a breath of fresh air but after 8 games lets calm down a bit eh?

| Has shown potential to be the best, he looks a great piece of business.Ali,Kylie and Webb remain the benchmark though.

| Imo the likes of Webb,Lauititi,Buderus and even Scott Donald have a all shown one extra thing besides there own skill set and that is buying into the club ethos, what pleases me most is Cuthbertson is the same. Your heart as to be "in it"100% and that's what I see in him.

| Woooh there Nelly... He looks superb so far but he's a long long long way from being as great as Ali. Ali is the best overseas player to play in SL for any team IMO.

| I think he will end up the clubs top try scorer in the prop forwards. (Bare in mind I don't know what the record is).

One of the pleasing things about our performances so far is that our forwards are scoring some tries for us. In previous seasons it felt like only really Ablett had any tries in him.
Last year the grand total of tries from Peacock, Leuluai, Bailey, Kirke and Singleton = 7
Cuthbertson, Singleton and Leuluai already have given us 9 in just 8 matches.
As good as our back 5 are and whilst they're expected to get the most tries, you can't live off just their tries alone, you need some from the middle men.
