Quote: bellycouldtackle "IMO Bird is the best player in SL, think it is fair to say he has played at the highest level, not just played but positively effected State of Origin matches. A match winning ball playing, tough tackling, hard running creative forward, whats not to admire about him as a RL player. Nearest I have seen to the great great Bill Ashurst skill set, Bill had a better kicking game. I would even go as far as saying that Bird is probably the best player ever to play SL.'"
Yes he's better than Andrew Johns or Allan Langer....
