Spot on and as most Leeds fans will tell you, Burgess has made steady progress in the side and was really starting to look the part early season. I don't think he has as much 'natural' talent as Sam but he is still a good player and if he carries on improving he will go well in the NRL and may end up in an England jersey in a couple of seasons. |

Average and poor relative to NRL standards, but not to SL. Look at how many NRL nobodies are playing in SL. That's what belittles the SL and players brought through here. Not what someone might 'think'. |

Yes, he was much better attacking player before he went to the NRL (as was Morley before him) |

yeah he was selected in the world 13 a few times before he went to the NRL...meaning he was considered 1 of the top 2 2nd rowers in the world....
he also had a "flick pass" BEFORE he went to australia |

How many games has he played this season.
Started with a good solid enthusiasm often off the bench. |

A team made up of the best players in the world at the 'Golden Boot' awards. |

When the "World 13" are picked, the Judges are from across both Leagues, some players from England are always going to be picked regardless.
Ellis is a fine choice, others less so. |

have a look at how many NRL "superstars" come over here to SL and fail miserably, or those that have looked average over here, then gone back to starring in the NRL again. |

If he works hard he will do well. There are poor players in SL and the NRL. It's all about how much effort they are willing to put in no matter where they play.

That list you posted is incomplete and does not list each year, there have been many that have been politically selected to have players from "The Big Three" make up the team.
It is mainly a UK driven concept like the WCC, why is there not a comprehensive site that lists such a prestigeous set of awards? (other than a half assed attempt on Wikipedia)
Laffranchi
Inglis as a 5/8th
Peacock
Others are not show.
Look at the one where there is a complete list of nominees and you have Burrows and Pryce. Please.... |
