Best 2nd Rower?

[Phillips]

i will take back my comment regarding fitzgibbon as being the most over-rated in the poll, i didn't see the Tallis option #-o

How can you not rate superstars like Fitzgibbon and Tallis, i.e. players who rise to the occasion at rep. level, yet consider Hindmarsh, i.e. someone who capitulates at the highest level, the best 2nd rower in the game?

You see the thing that separates the good players from the great ones is how they play on the biggest stage, in the most improtant games. What we've seen from Gordie in the past for QLD and what we saw from Fitzy on Wednesday is what constitutes a great player. Hindmarsh on the other hand is just a good player at club level because he's had chance after chance to prove himself at the highest level, yet has still to impress.

i admit i was wrong saying Fitzgibbon was over-rated :x im not sure what i was thinking , but i still stand my ground when i say Tallis is one of the most over-rated players in the game

You have been proven wrong in this thread already so there is no need to admit it. Last years ladder is important to who?

Tallis is still the best forward on the planet.

Hindmarsh for sure, he played good in the ANZAC Test Match and soundly in State Of Origin One, and is the most consistent player in the NRL comp games, Fitzgibon next with Tallis close behind.

I don't rate Tallis that highly
He is good for the first 20 minutes of each half, and then fades away for the rest of the game

Kennedy is a paper mache man, he injures himself exhaling!

I'd have Wiki in that poll, but it would still be Fitzy and Hindmarsh.

Chook.

WILLIE IS THE BEST IN THE WEST 8)

Puletua.
Last years form convinced me.
He's done nothing wrong since for me to change my opinion.

Dont get carried away...youre Manly, lots will tear you apart. :roll:

I'm a big Wiki and Fitzgibbon fan, but Tallis is in fine form and running harder and stronger than he has for the last 5 years.

Tallis for mine is back at number 1

how ryan and carlaw made that list ill never know

 

[kaiser2004]

Stephen Kearney And Ruben Wiki are both axes

 

[miccle]

Wiki, Kennedy, Tallis, Fitzgibbon and Hindmarsh all tie for this one imo. What they bring to their respective sides is incredible

how ryan and carlaw made that list ill never know

Ryan = NSW second rower
Carlaw = QLD second rower

That's probably why.

 

[Biglance]

thompson for sure

Ruben Wiki is easily the best 2nd rower in the world.
