Quote: AS108 "I wasn’t arguing that Roby is world class because he has international caps, that would be like saying (for example) LMS is world class because he’s been capped by England which obviously isn’t true. I was making the point that the fact that Roby is capped by England and Houghton isn’t shows that Roby is better. They both play for the same country in the same position and are both playing well at the same time so clearly if one is selected over the other then they’re considered to be better. Surely you can’t disagree with that? Roby is the best 9 in SL history for me, to compare him to Houghton is ridiculous he’s been far better over the years and still is.
As for Barba are you seriously saying he isn’t world class? He’s won a Dally M medal, has scored in and won an NRL grand final and is an incredible player one that other teams could only dream of having. He’s the big favourite for MOS for a reason.'"
I am not saying or claiming anything.
Just showing the flaws in the arguments you use and how confused you seem.
I follow Cronulla in Australia and am well aware of Barba's achievements and skills.
But you claimed Roby is miles better than Houghton which is just plain daft and use international caps to back your argument.
Their are many very good players that didn't or don't get the caps they deserve due to competition for places and coaches choice.
Barba being a good example.
Roby, Barba and Houghton are all very good players that are a joy to watch.
But you are so biased that you come on here and diss our players. Many of whom have just won back to back Challenge cups.
