Quote: Last Son of Wigan "I actually think he's clearly better than the names you've mentioned. His all round game is superb, just because he doesn't play in the NRL doesn't mean he's not the best.
Take a look at origin, QLD played 2 fullbacks on the wings and NSW play a former winger now FB and a centre on the other.'"
I'd say RTS and Brett Morris are better than him (though both play fullback at club level), and I think Burgess will surpass him in the next two years...though again, he may be moved to fullback for the Roosters briefly, depending on whether Latrell Mitchell is ready at the start of next season - he only turned 18 a month ago, but is absolute class.
My opinion on the Origin thing is because Aussies seem to view the wing with less importance than we do. Once a player is used to playing first grade, and is a dangerous player, you don't get enough opportunities on the wing, whereas if you can move them to fullback, they'll be involved a lot more. It's not that QLD and NSW are having to pick players (truly) out of position because there's such a lack of good wingers, it's that most of the best wingers have been moved to more pivotal positions.
