Jesus!!! Going through this thread post by post, i seriously fot you, especially given your alleged great debating skills

I hope you are drunk as this is the most idiotic stance i have ever read on here.

A drugs cheat

One of the best players i have ever seen was Brett Kenny, but due to the fact he was playing against part time players he was actually clearly crap, give me Lee Briers anyday

I suppose we can clearly say that players who played in the past are crap.

But the players of today ?

Well they are great.

Especially Mathers

Exactly.

Richie Mathers > Steve Hampson
Michael Platt > Alan Tait
Dennis Moran > Wally Lewis, Peter Sterling, Brett Kenny, Laurie Daley, Cliff Lyons
James Graham > Glen Lazarus, Andy Platt, Dean Pay, Paul Harrigon

Ellery Hanley - the most gifted player of my generation.

and for leading a team like it was a battlefield

Shaun Edwards

the post at the top that mentioned Kevin Ward was spot on- great player , you wouldnt have wanted him against you - or for those like me born in the 60s. Mal Reilly --- only saw him when i was a kid but what an all round player and hard doesnt go near to describing his presence on the field

and of course both of the above got total respect from the Australians when they played club rugby in the ARL- that says it all

But in 20 years they will become crap.

Has Brett Kenny forgotten that Wigan had to sell their ground before the salary cap because of what they paid their players?

And that Saints won the double in 96 pre-salary cap - so our winning team was built before the introduction of the salary cap?

One day, he'll realise that Wigan's sh*tness lies not with the salary cap, but his club's incompetent management of it. But he won't admit it.
