Who do you think is the best winger playing today?

It can be NRL or ESL. If it was judged today on recent performances?

I think we can allow international showings as well.


I have taken this idea from a different board. I am sure it was a troll, considering the answer given by some, but it has inspired me to think about the question.

I don't think I will answer jsut yet.

Vatuvei for me. Although some of the more deluded wigan fans are adamant that it is richards. Uate at newcastle is also a belting winger.

Uate or Vatuvei.

Imagine haveing those two - lighting on one side, the beast on the other. Wowee.

<Wigan fan mode> I'd take steady, consistent Pat Richards because as well as being tall he is the 7th best kicker in SL.</Wigan fan mode>

I do not understand the Vatuvei love in at all the bloke is no better than francis meli....

he's a big powerful unit and will always score with ball in hand from two or three yards out, but he plays the game with a permanantly suprised look on his face and he's right to do so because i'm suprised he hasnt been found out more often....

cant defend cant catch, this was him to a T at the start of the season then towards the end his handling improved and he was flavour of the month again....

however he has the Jamal Idris effect ...i.e he [ilooks[/i like an immense rugby player so surely he must be...!!!


Brett morris for me, pace, good footwork,great passing ability and great defence.....however he looks like a choirboy so might not get the majority vote...

Ade Gardner by plenty and then some.

I agree, its a close call though between him and Mark Calderwood.

Jason Nightingdale hands down! Only people to come close are Perret and Uate

I don't get all this Richards bashing. A winger who can score tries, makes good meters, can kick well, and is current Man of Steel - I'd have him a Warrington without doubt. Wouldn't you?

Nobody is bashing richards, he is very good and i would have him at wire. But even if he was playing in P+B i still wouldn't be claiming he is the best winger in the world like some of the wigan fans are. As i stated on the wigan board there is no british based player who is the world's best in their chosen position. It's a sad fact, but it's true.

From my limited NRL viewing, I'd go with Nightingale too.

Who would you consider to be the best prop in the world then?

In my opinion, Frank-Paul Nuuasala (not sure about the spelling!) I'd put both Morley and Civoniceiva behind him.

To pop in... ^this^ added awesome finisher. If your looking for an out an out winger, look no further.

I'd go for Nightingale or wherever Inglis decides to play.

or

Martin St Louis in ice hockey.
