My god you talk some e!
Top end? Roosters lead the table, and have played Heath L'Estrange 4 times this season. Rabbitohs are 3rd and have played Luke Burgess 17 times. Penrith are 4th (I think) and have played Isaac John 19 times. There are many, many bang average players playing top end NRL that aren't fit to lace Ryan Hall's boots.
Sometimes I think an enemy of yours has stolen your account details to make you look a complete moron?

No, Isaac John wasn't good enough to play Super League so he had to go find a gig in the NRL!
The (blatantly obvious) point is that none of the players I listed would even be considered good players in the SL, so any current good SL player could get a gig in the NRL.

Just how narrow do you want those goalposts? Two of them played in SL as recently as last season, the other is a SL product. The point is that none of them were/are better than players who ARE currently in SL, and are now at top end NRL clubs. The only way for any player to prove they can get an NRL first-team place is to go there, at which point they no longer fit your criteria. It's catch-22 for you to cling onto rather than face up to the fact that you're over-exaggerating, as is often the case.

| There are plenty of bang average NRL players, Luke Walsh never tore it up consistently or exceptionally but could see him calling the shots at a top side alongside a top class 6. Same goes for Brough.

| Brough, in the NRL?
I hope that prescription lasts.
If he was good enough, he'd be playing in the NRL earning way more money.
I don't want to be rude, but I think some people on here are lacking frontal lobes.

I imagine that watching some NRL helps.

No need for the insults, thanks. If you can't make a point without using them then don't bother.

too old now, it's a funny one with Brough as he seemed to only hit his peak (probably more in terms of attitude) once he'd be deemed past it to bother moving to the other side of the world
Like I said, he could 'do a job' alongside a better 6, wouldn't expect him to be winning the Dally M.

I apologise, was simply stating that my opinion is that there are very few player in SL that would cut it in the NRL. other people have expressed an opinion to the contrary, which is what RLFans is all about.
If anyone took offence, again, I apologise.

you are 100% about the attitude, but we have had so many players over the years that could have done so much more, from two bobs onwards, one day maybe we'll get the side we, as fans, deserve.
