By simply comparing Radz to Slater backs up that he's one of the most overrated players we've had.
People are comparing him to arguably the best FB ever! He had the basics, could catch, was quick and could tackle, nothing more. Hardly ever saw him break a tackle.

i can't believe that any player other than Billy Slater received any votes in this poll.
All the other players are simply not in his class

Slater is the complete fb, rads not anywhere near the same league.
Sam has potential to be the greatest British fb of all time.

Rads - Used to rate Rads as the best in the business but as someone said he hardly broke a tackle. He didn't have too though. His job was to defend and boy could he do that. One of the best one-on-one tacklers I've seen. Whilst his partnership with Lam and Faz was good it wasn't the partnership that Billy Slater has with Cam Smith and Cooper Cronk.
Webb - Good attacking fullback who is safe under the high ball but not sure his tackling is as good as Rads. The fact that Lance Hohaia gets in at 1 ahead of him for NZ says something as Hohaia can't catch a cold.
Wellens - Good reader of the game and a great tackler but slower than a one legged man doing the 800m.
Sam - Not a fullback but there's no reason why with Rads and Hampo as coaches he can't turn into one. Devastating when he chimes into the line. Needs to improve under the high ball.
Billy Slater - Makes mistakes like all players but his broken field running and as mentioned partnership with the halves is the best ever. The best of this generation by far. Best ever? Not sure you can compare as the roles have changed too much imo.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

I'd probably agree and say he was the most complete I've seen at Wigan in that he could catch, kick, tackle, had good pace and could beat a man.

He certainly is, had many a chat with him in the Poacher (Winstanley) on a Thursday night.
