Those lists are nothing but the Ockers smelling their own trumps.

Mind you if they think that Greg Eastwood, Chris Heighington are Sam Moa in the top 100 then it shows that the two leagues aint that far apart.

Those 3 against Westwood, Hill and Hansen?

Really?

He's a massively important player. He isn't do the fancy stuff like Tomkins but he's at more valuable to our team. If he was playing in Aus he'd be top 20/30 easily.

I agree entirely.

Basically , an Australian list of sprinkled players.

Look at Tomkins rating.

They've decided NRL based player only for one to ten , then slotted Tomkins in as the best player outside of the NRL owned top ten.
As for Sam Moa have you seen him play this year ? he's reinvented himself ( didn't see him in the ESL ) but he has taken his career seriously and gone from average to a key impact forward in Easterns Suburbs premiership campaign.
Eastwood....well he's not that flash but again he's going alright in his NRL return.
Watching the ESL top sides going around this season that list starts to smell with the lack of superleague rating.

Some of the order is patently ridiculous but you wouldn't go far past a better 1 - 4 best players in the world.

Best thing about the World cup is the players get to make a nonsense of the list......not long to wait now , one more sleep

Danny Brough made the list ROFL

I was always a massive fan of Greg Bird when he was in SL. I thought he was head and shoulders the best player in our comp.

Steve McBanana has walked out of the press conference after being asked why James Graham isn't playing. He was asked 3 times and wouldn't provide an answer before leaving. If his reason for not playing him is due to the Hock incident, I believe it was a perfect opportunity to put a real marker down about the standards expected and show himself as a genuine leader. Now I'm afraid he looks like a bit of a clown on national telly!

Sorry to inform you but . Sir Kevin Sinfield was not included on that list as it was a certain that he would have ended as No.1 and that it would not be fair for the likes of Slater, Smith, Inglis, Tomkins as if Sir Kevin was to be included it would be him at No.1 and everyone else in the world sharing second as they would not get a vote as all the people asked were voting for him.

After all he is the best player of all time and people like Boston, Hanley, Sullivan all bow to him as he is better than every player Before him, during him and after him.

I love it! The Referees sponsored by specsavers.
