Not what he used to be granted and injuries are taking there toll but he's no worse than other halfback in super league.

I'll agree there. But that's more about the poor standard of half backs in super league. He is not, and never was world class!

I dont believe any player has won any of those trophies they might happen to be in a team that won them, but thats another matter, there are plenty of better 2nd rowers in sl than jjb that havent won wcc's and Gfs, they are still however better. Ie westwood, manu, morrison, lms (when he plays there), burgess (when he plays there), westerman, hock.

The problem is that there are different types of 2nd rowers out there.But JJB is damn good at what he does and I wouldn't swap him with any of the players you mentioned

Fair enough but if i had to choose between morrison and jjb, morrison every day of the week.

Ooh dunno about that. Age, injuries etc? They are different types I reckon too. JJB is the one that does so much work that goes unnoticed. Morrison is very good but does a different job for his team. Good player though.

I'm probably biased cos JJB is already a bit of a legend at Leeds

Maybe that's why Pyeman doesn't rate him.

Injuries have stymied morrison the last few years its true (which is a shame because he is a class act to watch and had a reputation for never missing a game in the nrl), but when comparing players you have to assume they will be fit, buderus is better than newton, the fact that buderus is likely to spend more time on the sidelines doesnt alter that.
