Who are the best 3 Poms to play in the NRL?

[POPEYE]

Sorry Adam Kungl.

He could be more than that, so few 'messages' in 10 years might have him a researcher designed to invigorate the forums . . . then again my stats could also have me a member of the constabulary

 

[madunit]

Bob Fulton
Ian Roberts
Tommy Bishop

 

[Lambretta]

Chris Heighington, Jack Reed & Rangi Chase are glaring omissions

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Scott Moore
Jordan Turner
Zak Hardaker

 

[legs 11]

Great nominee legs 11, Kevin Ward. I've got that 1987 grand final and he was superb that day and probably was the best on the field. Only played 15 games down under.

kevin ward...the worlds smallest shorts ...and rolled up 10 times......but one tuff buggar and not a leg shaver....

 

[King hit]

Ellery Henley and Malcom Reily from before my time

 

[ed-grimley]

Tommy Bishop, Cliff Watson and Bill Ashurst.

 

[Amin Yashed]

Hands down first would be Aldumb Rosenfeld, close second to Adumb Cumgl.

 

[Life's Good]

Ellery Henley and Malcom Reily from before my time

YouTube highlights of Ellery Hanley & Martin Offiah. Well worth it. I was in high school at the time and coverage was nowhere near what it is today so these 2 guys were larger than life because they were big names coming here. The 80's(and 90's) were great times for league.

What???

No Sam Tomkins!!!!

Ha ha ha!!!

 

[Lambretta]

What???

No Sam Tomkins!!!!

Ha ha ha!!!

He's by far and away the best player to play in Australia (and New Zealand) who was born in Milton Keynes

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Best Pom team to have played in the NRL:

Zak Hardaker (Penrith)

Joe Burgess (Souths) Dan Sarginson (Gold Coast) Joe Wardle (Newcastle) Greg Eden (Brisbane)

Sam Tomkins (NZ Warriors)
Gareth Widdop (St George-Illawarra)

Sam Burgess (Souths)
Elliot Whitehead (Canberra) Gareth Ellis (Wests Tigers)
James Graham (Canterbury-Bankstown) Josh Hodgson (Canberra) Adrian Morley (Sydney)

Interchange: George Burgess (Souths), Tom Burgess (Souths) Joe Greenwood (Gold Coast) Mike Cooper (St George)


For those who have raised eyebrows, I must emphasise that Sam Tomkins started his professional career playing in the halves for Wigan.

That would be quite a handy team to play Australia and New Zealand, even though the three quarter line would not be England's first choice of players today.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

By the way Brian Carney, who played for Newcastle during the NRL era, is an Irishman.

poor old sam tomkins, he was useless at the warriors....never could find a pair of boots with studs....mr slippery.....like he was always playing on ice .....or maybe that was just the lack of guts and not wanting to be tackled.....
btw here's 2 old pommy props that most of u fellas under 50 would'nt know...lee crooks at wests and hugh waddell at the gold coast .....

Because he played pre-NRL

It's never stopped the cricket team from claiming players
