Best Outside Back In The Game?

[tiger_nick]

Reading about Jarrod Hayne and Matt Bowens contracts in the papers today got me thinking, who is the premier outside back in the game today? IMO Hayne has over taken the likes of Gasnier, Hodges and Minichello as the numbe 1 outside back. He can cover all 3 positions (fullback,win and center) is an out and out match winner, has stayed injury free and dosen't appear to have any flaws in his game.

except hitting it (the floor) every time a player runs past him. He needs to take a big dose of harden the f**k up before id even consider him in the top 5 outside backs.

Ahead of Gasnier? no way, Hodges? no way, Mini? only through minis injuries.

My vote, Bowen.

Then theres Folou, Inglis, Slater, Inu to name a few more ahead of Hayne.

flaws...

and yeh he is good just he is yhoung and has a few brain explosions which dont always come off...
but he isnt even close to being in the leagues of those three guys...
but id say the number one outside back atm....
ill go with inglis or gaz
brilliant skill

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

Seriously,Hodges is way ahead of him & as for Flaws.....DIVING...

 

[KniGhTs BaTTLeR]

I'd say Inglis if he was playing center or fullback, but i'd go with Hodges his an arrogant prick but it doesn't change the fact that his bloody good.

George Carmont.

[Raider_69]

At their peak, cant split Gasnier, Hodges and Inglis... Falou will join that elite group shortly

 

[Special K]

Inglis is the best back in the game. Could be the best fullback, centre or wing if he played a full season in any of those positions and he is a handy 5/8 also.

 

[gregstar]

a fullback?

an outside back?


league must have changed again - what did i miss?

 

[ride the tiger]

Nick, where's fitzy?

oh, of course, he's left the nrl.

tough choice but i went Hodges based on last year. he was awesome when fit. though probably would have gone inglis if it was an option.

but hayne is right there in my eyes.

 

[Gee_Up]

Gaz is unstoppable out wide one on one so is the best IMO.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Gasnier, kills us every time we play him.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Hodges
Bowen
daylight

 

[NK Arsenal]

Inu FTW.

Apart from his brain exposions.

A fair argument, though I would argue that he hasn't done a fraction of what Gasnier, Hodges or Minichiello have done in the game, or even what Inglis has done and I still count him as an outside back, 5/8 or not for his club, the rep selectors know where he's best. It's the old chestnut, do you pick purely on form now or are past deeds weighted to give some credit?

If Gasnier gets back to his best, I reckon it's btw him and Joe, with Hodges a cigarette paper in third.

Inglis is number one, very closely followed by Luke Covell.
