Perry is a top class prop, he's big, tough and can play in good spells. IMO last year and the start of this year he was in top 3 props in the world.
Thrown round like a rag doll! Ask ben cross what happens when you try to throw the rag doll called perry about.
He missed the bank end of the year and only came back for the last 3 games.'"
Josh Perry a top class prop? Take it from someone who watches him almost every week. Perry is anything but top class. He has never been in the top 3 props in the world at any stage of his career. Even at Manly both Jason King and Brent Kite are far better props.
In the past two seasons, Josh Perry hasn't averaged more than 80m a game and hasn't made more than a 100m a game since 2005.
The fact that Perry has represented Australia and NSW is a travesty and is indicative of selectors policy of picking players from winning teams regardless of ability.
In his two games for NSW he has only made 113m in total, including the first game of this year where he only made 38 metres in 7 runs as a starting prop, before Bellamy benched him and then dropped him for Game 2.
Perry will do well and will no doubt be a useful asset but don't kid yourself that you are getting a world-beater.
