Just watched the Canberra v Melbourne game and this guy is awsome.most fullbacks in super league when put under pressure you expect them to make a mistake 50% of the time or at least 25% of the time.This guy .you would have no worries when he is under pressure,I get the same safe feeling watching Slater as I did watching Steve Hampson,always dependable and willing to break the line,I know it's never going to happen(or is it) but would love to see this guy in the world famous cherry and white

Best fullback in the world.

Interesting he was playing a stand-off type role at times in that game to.

I take it you didn't watch the World Cup Final? Biggest game in rugby league, well, maybe Origin is bigger, but certainly the biggest game in international rugby league. Australia are losing by 2 with 20 minutes to go, New Zealand put a kick into the corner, Slater fields it 5 metres up, 5 metres in, and tries to go round the outside of the chasers! He gets easily shoved into touch but manages to throw the ball into the field of play for New Zealand to score the easiest try you'll ever see. I don't watch NRL every week so maybe I've missed him maturing but that stunk to me of a player who was more bothered about his own highlights reel than winning the game for his team.

Haha is this for real, did you not see his performances for Australia in 4 nations and over past 3 seasons in NRL, hes an outstanding player, one of his generation I think he'll go down as when hes finished, remember THAT try he scored for the Maroons when he was only a young fella still, one of best origin tries of all time, could tell he was special then.

One screw up, thats all youve got???

Didnt you see him in the 4 nations, particularly against us? This guy is amazing and has been for years. I suggest you try and watch some NRL because he is one those players you love to watch, his ability is unreal at times...

Tell me, you wasnt the gobe sat behind us at the DW when we played australia last season..saying Slater would get found out in SL ??

I really hope not..hes gone down in the history books as the least knowledgable fan ever.

Player in making a mistake shocker?

It's happened to all players (yes Rads and Hampo did feck up sometimes to)

'Show me a player with 0 errors in the stat column and I'll show you a player whose afraid to try the matchwinning play' - Wayne Bennett

Tell me someone didnt say that? I just spat my tea all over my monitor! Found out in superleague. They wouldnt tig him never mind tackle him.

lmao! No he would break try scoring records in the SL for sure, he's the best attacking full back around.

That's a great quote

there was two of them and both were a complete embaressment to wigan fans..

The only thing that annoyed me about Slater at the DW was the amount of whinging that he did.

He's an awesome player when he just stops whining to the referee constantly and plays.
