Deary me, he's a good player but that's pushing it a tad. Graham, Peacock, Vella and Morley are some distance better IMO.
Depends how much distance you're talking about! I think Peacock and Graham are arguably better but certainly not Morley and Vella.
Looking at the stats Lynch is 500m behind Morley in yards gained but has played 2 less games. Despite this Lynch has made more tackles, bust more tackles and made more offloads. On these stats I'd say Lynch is better.
Compared with Vella you have to look at the 2008 stats given that Vella's been out injured for most of the season. On those figures Lynch soundly beats Vella in all departments.
Graham has played more than twice the number of games as Lynch this year and although he's better in metres made and number of carries there isn't much to choose between them in terms of tackle busts or offloads. Going on these stats I'd say Graham shades it but not by a massive amount.
Only Peacock seems to really put daylight between him and Lynch in terms of stats in terms of metres made but in defence their figures aren't that different even though Peacock's played twice as many games.
