Phillips, PJ was a top player for the Warriors, but he was surrounded by in form goliaths at that stage in Lauitiiti and Jones as well.
I think Nathan Fien is a more effective player at the Warriors. Not only does he make the PJ Marsh incisions, he also sets up tries from dummy half passing and adds a good kicking dimension into the game. He'll play Origin next year if he can keep his form up in my book.
PJ does look a lot less of a player these days, however, when all's said and done he was a fabulous player for us, a good bloke to the fans, gave his heart and soul, at the stage of his injury I really think he was going to step it up a couple of notches his performances before particularly the one against Parramatta at Auckland were phenomonal. Most importantly, I'm just glad the bloke's on his feet again and doing what he loves best. Good on him, us fans will always miss him around the club.
