I've just been for a cold shower to get over the Fits of laughter I was in follwed by the thought that maybe I was in some kind of back to front reality nightmare!!!!

I may just ask him "Name a Better winger in the last 10 years!" and sit back waiting for the ludicrous reply he may keep up with!

Jukesays - learn to use the board quote function properly. That mess hurts my eyes so much I can't be bothered to read more than a few lines of it.

Yawn of a match on Sky Tonight. - Again!

Roughly translated as

Jukesays is right and I'm going to quit now before I look even more of a fool

Deano G: Why take three paragraphs to make essentially the same point? In any case you're wrong. Robinson found it easy to carve up disorganised semi-pro defences. When SL players got fit and worked to carefully set coaching plans he was nowhere near the same threat.

I'm sorry this pops your cork, but reality is a swine. He was a very good player and a very nice bloke, but a great? No. He's one step below Offiah and no sane RL fan would claim otherwise.

kirkamania6: If the poster formats his argument in a non-painful way I'll address each and every point.

Thankyou.

Oh Look!

It doesn't show what you were replying to on my original post!

Maybe that's why I did it this way???????

Now why don't you go and show me these wonderful SDL players of the last 10 years that are better than :-

Gregory/Edwards/Hanley/Schofield/Goulding/Newlove/Connolly/Tait/J Robinson/Offiah/Steadman/Connolly/Deveraux/Currier/J Davies/P Newlove/Hunte/Lydon/Dermott/L Jackson/J Lowes/Betts/Clarke/Goodway/Farrell/K Ward/M Gregory/Skerrett/Platt

ETC ETC ETC!

Or in other words, You know what you said was Rubbish so I'll whinge and cry about my Eyes Hurting!

Jukesays: Have you lost your marbles? I've no idea what's going on above but I'll indulge your madness very simply:

Perhaps ... just perhaps ... you - like all those other old geezers camped around the TV in the local boozer on a Friday night - are overrating the players of yesteryear whilst underrating those of today?

Wading through your disorganised mess (I must be losing it completely):

Gregory: Taking solace from being the best of a bad - nay, hopeless - bunch is living in a fool's paradise.

Betts: When I was eight my dad told me a printed circuit board out the back of a radio was a bionic - that wasn't true either. But if we're to play THIS game - what are your thoughts on Keiron Cunningham? Because when I interviewed Gordon Tallis after the Australia vs Wales match he told me Cunningham's performance was the best he'd faced in his career.

Newlove: Much as it pains me to say it (mainly because he has all the craft of a brickie): Senior has achieved more for GB than Newlove ever did.

Connolly: Only a idiot glosses over an embarrassing try return for such an attacking position. Connolly was a great defensive centre. One of the best of all time. But a centre's job is to ATTACK and defend. He broke very few tackles and created little for his support players. I mean, for years Malcolm Alker has been the best defensive hooker in Britain, but nobody with anything between his ears would advocate him for the national team.

Edwards: The only thing Shaun Edwards ever did against Australia was inflict one of the most heinous head shots in living memory. At least Gregory had the odd competitive game. Edwards was a great club player and a fine captain. But he was never top line international class. And the lack of scintillating YouTube highlights vs the Kangaroos proves it.

Davies: Yep. He played well in the ARL.

Farrell: You included him. Not me. Get out of town. Graham and Burgess are easily as talented.

Robinson: Your sig is your choice - not an affirmation of reality.

Mugwump.


You are deluded.


Sorry m8, we all love RL but you seriously need to re-examine yourself over this one.

Start of a slippery slope Brett.

ok then this is clearly going nowhere, both name a side with the best of both era's, and we'll pick the bone's out of it

LOL, if Mr. Communist Cap's calling me a crank I MUST be sane.
