Who are both playing in a far superior league, and in a different position.

I didn't dispute that the NRL is better. I'm talking backrow in general.

So you agree that its ridiculous to compare stats, for people playing in leagues whch have different standards?
Or do you think that my little brother, is in fact better than ellis and o'loughlin, because his stats, playing for his high school team against average teenagers, are better than their stats, whilst playing against the best pro's in the world?

| O'Loughlin gets some stick but he's a quality player that I'd have at Wire anyday.
Best Backrower in the world? no chance, different type of player to Ellis or Burgess who will probably give a team more as an all rounder but he isn't as good as them at what they do

I agree with that, different type of player.
O'Loughlin would get in any SL side and alot of NRL sides though.

Stats are constantly being compared between Nrl & SL as they are the 2 top competitions in the world. The Premier League, La Liga & Serie A all get compared (Messi & Ronaldo when he was at Man Utd) even though the Premiership is probably the best. Even if one league is better it is still the nearest thing for comparison.

| I think O'L would get in any team in the world tbh if he went for a price.
I don't think a single team in the world has 3 backrowers better than him, lets be honest if Flanagan can do it jeeesus O'L could

Yeah, I'd agree with that.
I think there is alot of people who don't rate O'L for some reason, but he is definitely up there with the best English back rowers for a start.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| Lockers is currently the most creative 13 in the world along with defence to match anyone.

13 is a vital position and to say he’s the most creative is mind numbing. I’m sorry but the most creative 13 in the world would of created something against Leeds in a challenge cup match.
Whilst he’s been fantastic in the league and he did well for England. Something just doesn’t quite add up when he can't perform a winning move when it matters.

| couple of great hits from burgess in the game vs penrith last week
i'm very impressed with burgess's second row partner at souths dave taylor this season - already an origin call up and looking good for the aussie side for the four nations

42170_1280565797.jpg Rule 1. I am always right.
Rule 2. If in any case I appear wrong, refer to rule 1.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42170.jpg |
