[Chip and Chase]

6 in the top 100. 3 of whom may not be here next year.

 

[anthonyb1965]

Thank Bones, what in parts, is a strange list;

Jesse Bromwich above snake, choc and skivvy?
SBW above killer?
Corey Parker above killer?

to name but a few?

 

[Rodo]

And there were guys who made the Kangaroos squad and are not in the list.

 

[The Who]

Be much more interesting if RLW made a list of the top 100 rumours . . . it would be hilarious.

 

[Disco]

Radradra, Morgan, Gordon over Ballin and Buhrer

 

[Snake]

Greg Inglis is not the best player in RL.

 

[The Prince of Brookvale]

Greg Inglis is not the best player in RL.

Pretty good at beating up on women though.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Greg Inglis is not the best player in RL.

Pretty good at beating up on women though.

Yeah, credit where credit is due...

 

[manlyfan76]

Greg Inglis is not the best player in RL.

Pretty good at beating up on women though.

Only in their self defence though.

 

[MadMarcus]

Maroon and white glasses off, a pretty good effort on the first 20 I thought for something which is pretty subjective.

If Inglis is not number 1, who is?

 

[StuBoot]

Maroon and white glasses off, a pretty good effort on the first 20 I thought for something which is pretty subjective.

If Inglis is not number 1, who is?

# 2 ....then #29

Can't argue there. Thurston is far and away the best player, and Snake is much more than a try scoring wizard as he showed this season with his try and line break assist tally.

But the media have a love affair with Inglis. RLW is part of the media, hence he's at the top of the list. Besides, I'm guessing they fear getting a mauling from toofless Souffs fans if a Vermin wasn't #1 after they *cough cough SPEW* won the premiership this year.

Good thing I see is that we actually have 6 players in the top 39....which is 15.3% (same as Souffs). Question is, will more than Cherry, Killer and possibly Skivy be at Manly in 2015??

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Personally I think Thurston is over rated.

Very good player no doubt, but not 1 of the greats as people say

Hasn't led a very good Cowboys side to a Premiership as yet, and in the big games can be found wanting. Against the Roosters for example, sure he played very well in the comeback from 30-0 down, but he was also the key reason they went down that many in the 1st place, his option taking in the 1st 20mins was horrific and showed no composure or football brain at all

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

and his defence [sic] is a target for anyone bigger than 2v.
