| Quote Bullseye="Bullseye"What system? Your "system" simply involves saying "he's in the top 10 players in his position in the world". How do you arrive at that opinion? Is it based on Test performances? Performances in finals? What? Or are you just saying it without really justifying it?
'"
I also said in the same thread that no real system would work because it's all a matter of opinion and who could decide so I totally get your point.
All i'm trying to point out is what I personally said wasn't arrogant. It was just a general rugby debate about who had more World class players(after a bulls fan said Halley, Nero, Scruton etc were world class). Like i've said theres no way of actually judging it for sure and the only real indications that matter are on the pitch both this Friday and for the rest of the season.
Looking forward to it.

It should be.
We've not had a crash hot record at Odsal over recent times and it's always a tough place to go. Now your halfbacks have had chance to settle in it makes for an even better clash.

We've all got our fekkwits mate. I think our only world class player left last season. I don't think Halley or Nero will be world class while I have a hole in my backside. And by world class I mean likely to be able to match it with the best the NRL can offer.

Somebody on our board said they thought somebody should only be considered world class if they could get in a world 17. Again it would be a matter of opinion on who would make it but it sounds fair enough.
Going off that Englands world class players imo would be Graham, Peacock, Ellis and Burgess which in my mind sound about right.
Anyway back to this weeks game........................

| Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss"I was simply discussing how would people rate a 'world class' player. I said a system I would probably go off if pushed would be if a player was one of the top 10 players in his position in the world.
'"
In popular worldwide sports like football and dare I say it, Rugby Union, then fair enough, but in Rugby League that is a nonsense suggestion. Not enough people play it in order for there to be so many "world class" players.

Fair comment.
I'd say theres probably about 25 guys that play rugby league who deserve the world class tag in truth.
There probably only 2 or 3 in the whole of superleague.

Thats what i was going to say i consider 'world class' to be the best player in the world in that position
2-3 at a push i say, some players like Eastmond and S Tompkins have the potential to get to that level i think though

| Quote Ewwenorfolk="Ewwenorfolk"It will be our toughest test so far, thats for sure. I'm hoping for 100% effort, and there's no reason why we can't give them a game and even get the win.
I hope we take advantage of Phelps being out by constantly peppering Goulding with high balls as Roberts has dropped to full-back.
Deacon should get a great reception aswell.'"
phelps is expected to be back with roberts reverting back to wing

| I'm bizarrely feeling more confident the more I read. Wigan are setting themselves up for a fall with their over confidence. Noone is giving us a hope. Its reminding me of Saints away last year.
Come on you Bulls.
