What about whilst in the NRL- He was a SOO Blue

Unlucky Barry - what a woeful post.
Blundered big style.

Gary Lord.

There have been some good defensive fullbacks but the SL limitation of course excludes the greatest defensive FB ever to pull on a pair of boots, the legendary Sir Keith Mumby.

Oh please, Mumby wasn't fit to lace Gary Kemble's boots and some. Mumby was a good solid professional but a long line of averageness that the GB selectors plumbed for BITD.

Of course he is, although to be fair it's been cracking weather last few days in the North of England so
he might be out sunbathing.

Makes me laugh to call wellens over rated. Check out some old footage on youpube in his prime wello was a fantastic player. I actually rate him over radlinski. Only just though.

I agree. I think some people forget how good he was because he probably lingered too long in his declined state but from 2000- 2006 he was clearly the best in SL imo.

He had everything for a top full back except pace.

Unlike you on Mumby, I'm not going to diss Kemble, who was a decent player, but really, there is no comparison, as a defensive FB Mumby (who played nearly 600 games, almost all of which I watched) (cf Kemble's 200) really was in a league of his own.

The problem with the selectors was not that they picked Mumby, but that they didn't want to play him at FB because they wanted to use him as a defensive plug in the centres. Crazy.

I have never watched a FB who could tackle, defend and cut off attacks like Sir Keith could and I doubt I ever will.

Best fullback in the Superleague? Either Radlinski or Brent Webb

Best fullback I've seen play in the UK? E.T.

I think it was more lack of acceleration than all out pace, where he made up for it was his reading of the game, he always seemed to know where the kick was coming from or the angle of the runner and was in position to snuff out any danger. On his kick returns for his five prime years he would always beat the first man and offload with technique rather than pace. You could probably count on one hand the no of dropped passes from high bombs in one season, very unlike todays full backs who struggle to judge the path of a high ball and quite often let it bounce or lack understanding with the winger.
He was also very brave or suicidal covering a low bouncing ball, think he had 2 or 3 broken jaws/eye sockets colliding with opposition legs, bradford bulls cup game was one of them.

I wasn't dissing Mumby, I was ridiculing your ridiculous notion that Mumby was the GOAT FB from a defensive POV.
