I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

| As Bill Shankly said about footballers and it applies to rugby, "a good player then would be a good player now, and a good player now would have been a good player then".

| Perhaps it is just that we do not attract the same quality of players that we once did or just that the difference between ordinary and good has been narrowed by improvements in training techniques but the best players in the 90s were real stars compared to the rest of the team.

Was there ever a player who you were less likely to look at and to say "that is what a superstar rugby league player looks like", unless it was Rob Burrows?

Great player Greg, my favourite Wigan number 7, but it gives me no pleasure to say it, Alex Murphy was the best I've seen, here, or in Australia.
