Quote: imwakefieldtillidie "Gene Miles edged Meninga for me.'"


That's an interesting comparison.

I don't think there is a position in RL which has two more contrasting styles than the centres. In this case you've picked the two extremes.

In Miles you have a TRY MAKER

In Meninga a GAME BREAKER.

Yet both IMHO are equally as valid

If TJ had Miles as a centre he'd score 30+ a season in a decent Trinity side. Miles not that many.

If TJ had Meninga he'd score half that but the partnership would probably score the same.

The only difference is that Meninga would chip a lot of individual match winning wonder tries that Miles wouldn't - so this IMHO gives Meninga quite an the edge.

Miles = 101 games 20 tries (but countless assists)

Meninga = 306 games 189 tries Speaks for itself really.

I don't think those stats for Miles are accurate, but I agree with what you are saying. Both were outstanding players, it's just personally I love to watch a good playing centre. It's not just the tries he created, it's how he created them as well. A wingers dream.

There off Wikipedia. I think the Meninga ones are but the Miles ones I agree look a tad on the mean side.

Meninga

You've missed the stats for the seven years 1980 -87 that Gene Miles played for Wynnum Manly. Those Wikipedia stas only include his appearances for Brisbane Broncos and Wigan,

It doesn't include his tries for Wigan either.
