Was watching the Matty Johns show last week and think it was Johns himself (could be wrong)
that said he reckons Ellis is the best forward in the world right now. Agree or disagree I thought it
was a nice change from the Burgess love that goes on down here.
Burgess has had a great season and is certainly a top player, one of the best. For some reason he gets
way more plaudits than Ellis. Perhaps thats what happens when Uncle Rusty pulls out the stops to make you
a high profile signing.
This is no way an Ellis V Burgess debate by the way, just nice to see Ellis get whats due for a change. icon_cool.gif

Burgess is better.

Ellis is a super forward though.

Most people here would say Burgess is better, but it's hard to compare. Burgess is more explosive, but does that make him better?

Personally, I think Gallen has been the best forward in the NRL this year.

Gareth Eliss isn't even the best forward at Wests Tigers let alone anywhere else eusa_clap.gif

I thought this thread was about who was the best forward in the world , not just the best in the NRL.

Gallen is the best forward in the world as well as the NRL.

What a legend.

Fact.

I wouldnt expect the best forward in the world to be a kind gentle sentimental type

WEST COAST PIRATES NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg



he's that good Gallen has led the sharks to? Oh maybe not.

If I had to sign one I'd sign Burgess, more for what he will become than what he is now. ellis gives you more now, 80mins, big on defence, runs great attacking lines. The all round No1 forward imo in the NRL this season.

People my say Thaiday or Hannatt are better but they need a rest after 18-20mins. Ellis gives you a full 80, the rest lucky to get 50 good mins out of them.

i prefer burgess over ellis, but probably cause burgess does the fancy big hits all the time whilst ellis does more of the nitty gritty work

Correct.

Besides, until Ellis shows it at international level like Burgess has, it is all conjecture. Hopefully for England, it is only a few weeks away now as far as Ellis is concerned.

This year has improved both players in my view.
