Exactly, he wasn't the best player because he was playing in a poor side but the talent was there for all to see, when he went to a better team it allowed him to show how good he was, and had any of the perceived big clubs had been prepared to pay a transfer as well as settling his debts then he might have won more, money well spent imo because you could ask would your team have won the LLS without him.

Moving to Huddersfield definitely allowed him to flourish as a player. E do see this happening regularly. Its happened to a number of giants and Wakey transfers in both directions.

It happens with a lot of players, there's a number of factors that can cause it.
Any stand out player who plays for the big clubs will get more recognition because we see them on Sky so much more.

Some fans didn't really know who Seb was when he won man of steel last year.
Imagine hardly knowing one of the best players in a competion that you are a fan of. Playing for a bigger club can 100% have a major influence in promoting your career.

hence why we dont get on tv much nowadays and have been getting players in with lack of ambition and we just arent an attractive proposition anymore... no problem picking up your wage and not much pressure at the giants... needs a culture change.

He wasn’t the best player- because he wasn’t the best player. Many other players WERE better regardless of their club. for instance Rangi won it with cas finishing in the bottom half of the table.
