Quote: Phuzzy "He's a good player for sure but nowhere near where he's being talked up to. Not even close to Walmsley for example. Can you point me to a single game where he's been 'unplayable' in the way Sculthorpe, Farrell or O'Loughlin were at times during their careers or in the way Field, French or even Connor (for all his faults) can be now?
He's a good player in a good team which helps his game massively as he can just go about his work with no pressure or need to create anything.
He's one of the best back rowers in the comp but beyond that, massively overhyped. How can a steady Eddie, however well he fulfills that role, be considered 'the best player in the league' (sic). It's utter madness.'"
He’s not that type, I get that but I just think in an era were Saints are winning everything based on the fact their intensity is through the roof and he absolutely leads that puts him right up there.
Maybe I’d class him as the ‘most important’ player in the league, rather than the best one but he’s a fantastic player for my money and is young enough to take it up a level or two yet.
