Slater was better at kick returns, karate kicks, brain explosions and high tackles. Slater also worked up very good combinations with Smith & Cronk and played almost his entire career with a top 4 side.
Snake was a unique talent and overall a better player, by a small margin*.

*my opinion

I mean I get what he's trying to do but wtf is he thinking 🤣 not soccer billy boy. Another favourite slater moment was when Trex used him as a speed bump hehehe. I hated old Billy for ages but that game wolfman did his neck and how billy held him and told others to basically F off my opinion of him changed somewhat. I mean he's still a filthy cheat but the 40 nil made that all the better. Damn I miss those days
 
Yes, the pre-knee injury Snake was a sight to behold. He used his guile to prolong what was a wonderful career. He was such a heads--up guy...one of my favourite moments was the try he laid on for Matt Ballin against Souths in the 2013 Prelim Final. He stood at dummy half and waved Ballin into position with his hand behind his back. Then he took a short side and held the ball up beautifully for Ballin to take the hole. It was sublime football.

It's also worth noting that in spite of his knee injuries, he was still fast enough to score an absolute pearler in the 2011 GF, running off an inside pass for DCE. He was always able to bring his best form to big games because he was a super competitor.
The guy definitely pulled off some of the best trick plays I've ever seen. The tunnel ball out the back was another and yes that 2011 GF try was awesome! I was in full Manly mode back in those days. 2013 broke me and nsw losing origin 10x now I don't even care about origin 😅
