how many players have made 70+ tackles in a grand final?
That wasn't so surprising, the Sharks had an obvious plan of running at him all game. They also had Wade Graham smash Cronk all game.
Two simple tactics that Bellamy couldn't negate.

Rugby league journos, and sports journos in general, are obsessed with the GOAT concept.

Unless you're over 109 years old, have watched every game of rugby league ever played, have analysed different eras to standardize different rules, playing conditions etc its impossible to make a judgement on the 'best ever'.

No rugby league player is a standout among others like Don Bradman is in cricket. 10 years ago Andrew Johns was the GOAT, now its Smith, in ten years time they'll latch on to someone else.

That said Smith is pretty f**king good, Thurston overhyped.

Rugby league didn't start in 1908.
