I was thinking more along the lines of the opinion of someone so far out of touch with the modern game it's embarrassing.

It'd be like having the same opinion as someone who calls himself "King James" and has some form of messiah complex.

Is that more than a feeling, Jean

I like Jeans posts insightful and always challenging the status quo of rugby league..quite enjoyed the game as well.catalans aren't always the easiest team to watch but tonight's game was entertaining and widnes possibly deserved a bit more from the game.this weekends games have been great viewing.will see what tomorrow brings?

So you agree that a team should always "chip over the top" or "go for the 1 pointer" even when the match situation clearly shows that to be a pointless idea???

That same World Cup winner who played the game at the highest level, also thinks that Jordan Turner's a good shout for MOS.

I think Stevo gets a bit too excited when a player scores a hat trick, Yaha didn't have any one to beat for those tries. A good winger will create something from individual play, Yaha is nowhere as good as Solomona, Thompson, Broughton, Carney, Manfredi at the moment for tackle busts and clean breaks.
Billy Boston scorer of 570 tries, most of those will be from passing plays, in our modern game there a lot more speculative kick plays, I very much doubt Yaha will get within 50% of Boston's record, he would have to score 40 try's a season for the next 14 years.

Just thought I'd add, the key for Yaha is some form of consistency. He looks to me at least, like he could be the best French outside back that Catalan produce so far, but they have had a lot of false starts in that department, with the likes of Cardace, Gigot, Escare and even Duport starting well and then struggling/being found out. Yaha needs to work hard to make sure same doesn't happen to him.

From memory I think we had a very similar thread from the OP with Escare.

I never compared Morgan Escare with William "Billy" Boston.

You probably compared him with William "Billy" Slater

I just saw a perspective image of Boston running at Escare on a very muddy pitch, flat packed and it took a groundsman to find him.

Eclipse 479 tries for one team? Would you like a wager? If yes, I also have a bridge I would like to sell you.

Of course not, there's only one Billy Boston.

To many people it's just a name, some old bloke who used to be good back in the day.

But in reality if Yaha had played opposite Boston, he would have requested to be moved to the other wing.
