| I don't disagree with his number 1 at all. Sculthorpe's one of the best players to come out of this country and was as tough as a prop. He hit hard and could unlock any defence. He was wanted by a lot of teams down under and would have been successful where ever he played. IMO, he is probably the best British player I have seen since I started watching the game as a 10 year old in '94. He would walk into this team and probably make us a lot closer than we are to the Aussies and this is apparently the best team we have had in some time.
Ill go with Lockyer's judgement on this and i'm a Leeds fan  |

You only need to look at how much Wigan fell apart after he left to see the impact he had.

Good to see that Lockyer states what everyone outside of Wigan have always known, that Andy Farrell was overated and Sculthorpe was far far superior.

Johns, for instance, had seasons when he couldn't get on the pitch. |

Im not suggesting both players where in the top 3 at the same time though.

| Quote: LincolnDEVILSFan "snip'" I know, but I think what the poster's point was that there would have been times where it would have been plausible to say "that" about either of those players, not particulary that they were two of the top 3 international players for the period ninety something to two thousand and something. |

He hasn't listed Sculthorpe as his number 1. He's just named 10 players and they've been listed in order of nation, hence why all the New Zealanders come after the English.
