Quote: Nickcollier68 "Oh, come on Fallon!.
'A couple of good years at Wigan' is a bit of an understatement. I disliked him as much as the next Rhino fan, mainly for his holding down, and whingeing.. But he was an undeniably talented player. The best we have some seen for some time in my eyes.
I was delighted when he went down under, as he often tore holes in most teams' defences! But, as a rugby league fan, (without my Rhinos hat on), I feel we have to acknowledge how good he is...even if Zak is a better full back. He will, assuming he gets back to full fitness, be one of the best, and most exciting players in the game, again.
And Zak will still be England's number 1 !'"
You're right Nick, he had 3/4 good years at Wigan, I was a little light on that.
I'm still of the opinion that he is overrated particularly when people hold him up as the best seen for some time. He has an unorthodox side step and some pace but that's it. Once defences know how to cover that a lot of his attack is nullified. This was shown in the nrl.
Being voted the biggest flop in the nrl was harsh imo but it shows from the best league in the world that he is over-hyped. I would point out in his defence that he can't control how hyped he is.
