No he obviously would be one of the best but in my opinion that is an indication of how we havnt produced that much talent in that position over the years. Compare him to someone like Sam Tomkins and he isnt even in the same league. Compare him to some of the best Aussie FB`s over the past few years and he isnt even on the same planet.

Aye, It wasn't the best of Leeds signings was it.

Best defensive fullback has to be Wellens. Might have been the best ever if he had any pace.
Radlinski was brilliant in attack and fantastic under a high ball.

My personal favourite as a Rhinos fan has to be Webb...devastating in his first 3 years at Leeds but not quite the same player after his long-term injury.

Tomkins has the potential to eclipse them all but time will tell.

'Sick-note' managed a grand total of 12 appearances for Leeds. Ironically he went back to Oz and scored 17 tries in just 26 NRL appearances before retiring.

I would go for the ever reliable Mick Withers. I'm surprised more people do not rate him higher than some of the other names mentioned.

Clint Greenshields

Seconded.

Forgot about him. Good shout.

Withers is one of those guys who get's overlooked. A very similar player to Wellens in that all though neither had a great deal of pace, their ability to read the game and be in the right place at the right time often meant that pace was never an issue for them

Do you mean as a Bradford or Wigan player?

Wellens more so, solid but nothing more. The difference between him and Slater in 08 WC was laughable.

I think most people here have made the assumption that we're comparing SuperLeague players. Slater doesn't enter into the equation. In any case the difference between almost any English player and Billy Slater is usually laughable.

Wellens has been much more than 'solid' for a long, long time. You don't win MoS, Lance Todd (twice in a row), Harry Sunderland and Players' Player trophies by being just solid. His positional play has always been superb and for a relatively slow player his scoring record (almost exactly one try every two games) is pretty good.
