Or even would Wellens win any trophies at any other club.
Or would he even win a spot int he team? |

Yes Wellens isnt an international standard fullback but he's a hell of a lot better than some on here make out. Simply put he wouldn't of held his place in that saints team for so long if he was bad.
The exta yard you get in SL means he's valuable at this level and he's in the top 3 imo
Briscoe isn't international standard either, probably a better call right now than wellens but then again we all know that

I think the problem with a few players IMO Wellens and Senior are two, is that from a GB/England point of view it speaks more about the failure to produce good players that these have been the best we had for so long,

tbf Senior's been a good player, I don't think anyone can deny him that.
Granted no Mark Gasnier, but he's been at the top level for about 15 years hasnt he? Not the player he was but still..a long career
Wellens looks great at club level because it's a yard slower. Those gaps he just goes through for Saints aren't there at international level. His positional play is second to none imo considering his lack of pace

Being in the GB/England side (And just for the record Im calling it GB from now on because the other countries just lose players to England anyway) does not make you a top player.
Englands last top player was Hanley.

I think thats half England problem. Too many of the current England team think they are God. |

He has to be up there if not him who else Wellens
His best is well and truly past him (if he ever had a best in a GB/Eng jersey that is) |

Wellens is OK, Briscoe is OK. Let's be honest, neither are Billy Slater and half the other full backs in the NRL so why debate it? We're screwed either way, because we simply don't have enough talent.
We are starting to produce some good potential and Richard Owen is one of them. In the next couple of years he will need to kick on otherwise he will go down the Michael Platt and Richie Mathers road.

The whole "he isnt billy slater" thing is a complete red herrring, like comparing any of our backs to the aussie backs
The aussie back line is hte Queensland back line, and the NSW backline is made to look bloody ordinary by them too. Compare the England backs to the NSW ones and its a bit more parity.

Right OK...
K. Gidley v Wellens/Briscoe
Hayne v Gardner/Fox
Monaghan v Gleeson
Lyon v Atkins/Shenton/Senior
Williams v Hall
Aye, pretty even that. |
