You certainy are a free spirit Gareth. Your choice of Lauititi proves that.
I respect your opinion. But have you kept a close watch on him during matches. He is often lacking condition when he plays. His commitment is less than absolute in most games. However he seems to move up a gear for play offs and Grand Finals. Which tells me he can do it when he wants.
Unfortunately he doesn't do it often enough for me.

Nostalgic Les

I love to watch him play.

Yes, he can have days when he doesn't show but he's an overseas player who has been at the same English club for six seasons, playing 4 Grand Finals and winning three.

Its' the stuff of legends. He can validly lay claim to being our greatest ever overseas player and he has done things on the pitch that few others could do.

I think you do him a dis-service. I think we'll look back on him as reverently and nostalgically as previous generations did with Eric Harris and Arthur Clue etc.

What a joke!

How any of the follwoing players can be among the GREATEST Super League players is beyond me. Most people are too busy trying to show their 'knowledge' of the past rather than been realistic:

Mark Carroll
Dean Sampson
Adam Mogg
Scott Hill
Stephen Myler
Eorl Carbtree
Henry Fa'afilli
Clint Newton
Paul King
Joe Westerman

Whilst i understand the criteria means you have to spread it about a bit some of the above are a joke!

I will post mine later - too busy at the moment.

Looks to be quite a few representative appearances, dream team selections and leading try scorer awards amongst that lot and 6 of them are current Superleague players.

Your understanding of the criteria is great. It'll be interesting to see your 17 players without any also rans in it.

Always thought he was poor, but he kept scoring tries in very poor teams.

Was also faster than he looked.
