GRaham and Hall now this is getting daft.

| for me the one i always think was over rated was denis betts, played in one of the best rugby sides ever, did sod all for england and got hugely found out in the nrl.
and weirdly martin offiah, i think id have got 30 tries a season outside darren wright and gene miles and from his website....
had great hands and an eye for a try, often making interceptions then racing the length of the field to score. I received criticism over my defensive game, but such was the dominance of the Wigan during this period, that I was rarely required to defend.
when he went london he was pants and.... david jones had him for toast at bv!

Eh?
I think Hall is outstanding, power, pace, elusiveness & always in the right bloody place. Good looks to boot. Reminds me of Darren Albert and the posibility that he could play in the forwards at the back end of his career.

betts did not struggle in the Nrl Andy Platt did at first but both got rave reviews. Read the iceman by John Monie good section on how they went in the ARL.
Martin offiah is without doubt the finest winger I have seen in my memory which is from about 1985. Yes he had his flaws nut he more than made up for them with other aspects of his game.

| Quote vastman="vastman"Not sure I agree. I think he's done OK. At the end of the day the Aussie backs will always look far better because their forwards and halves have already won the battle. They got chances served on a plate whilst the likes of Senior had to fashion their own chances or feed off crumbs.
You always got the feeling that given space Senior would have scored plenty. With our current centre and wingers you fear they may not even know which direction the try line is.'"
I cannot think of 1 Australian international centre that does not or did not have the ability to create something out of nothing. Senior at that level is as 1 dimensional as it gets.

Terry Hill and Chris Johns, both were no more than straight up and downers, solid, dependable and nothing more.
