What has time got to do with it?
Should Bevan have received international recognition? You don't have to have seen him play to answer the question, his record and inclusion in two RL halls of fame should suffice.
And my Bevan theory isn't a theory. I'm simply challenging the tripe that you come out with, the latest being the subject matter of this thread.

We’ve waited too long for this day to come
Thirty thousand Wires standing as one
All travelling down, a sight to be seen
Man, woman and child sharing one dream
Tension in the crown as kick off draws near
Mixed emotions: excitement and fear
Restlessness as we huddle like cattle
Then Morley appears ready for battle
The rest of the team follow to fight to the death
The hooter sounds and we all hold our breath
Again the fans will have their own role
To sing and show passion deep from the soul
There may be times the players feel beat
Feeling too weak to achieve this huge feat
With their hopes and dreams they’ll look to the skies
To see a Primrose and Blue haze in front of their eyes
Then comes the roar; we never stop believing
This is one relationship we won’t be leaving
Cut us we bleed like everyone, that’s true
The difference being we bleed Primrose and Blue!

At the end of the day your theory is nothing more than a load of old chuff.
These days the best League players get into the International team, that's what i mean when i say if your worthy of it you get it.
Did Australia have the policy of if you move away from Aus you don't get in the international team, like they do now
I also wasn't using the international thing as a reason for Briers being average, read the post again, you came up with that one.

1. Is that right?
2. Not sure but I believe it is a relatively new directive to try and curb the exodus from NRL to SL.
3. You claim you didn't but you certainly do. The contradiction is there for all to see
Anyway, your talking tripe again. Briers has been singled out for praise by the head coach. I'm not sure why you insist on challenging such praise. It is obviously merited.

The coach is obviously blinded just like the rest of you.

I’m comparing the guy to Stuart Reardon (yes I can cast my memory back to a time when he was fit) who made numerous tackle bursts and could easily step players and gave the team momentum.
Yet despite being a crap returner of the ball and getting driven back all the time, he is our 2nd highest metre maker, and is the 2nd highest fullback in the league in this area, higher than Paul Wellens.
Don't let facts get in the way though.
The lad is still learning, and yes he is making errors, but he has pulled off some very good try saving tackles so far, and his kick return is actually at pace rather than the jogging that Reardon and Hicks do.
