do aussies rate sculthorpe

[lyon is a saint]

our captain fantastic paul sculthorpe is one exellent player but do people down under rate him, or any other of our saints players eg, talau, long, cunningham, lyon, wellens, higham, hooper and albert

 

[Jono078]

I havnt seen much of him, but he seems a pretty good defender....

 

[PARRA_FAN]

sculthorpe is a good player, he was GB's best player in their last two victories over Australia and was their best player in their 64-10 loss in Sydney a few years back. I also rate Wellens pretty good defensive fullback.

Dont ask me how I rate Jamie Lyon, you'd know the answer. ;-)

WHAT, u havent seen much of the guy is the face of superleague, dont you lot get coverage of games

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I thought the face of the super league was Andy Farrell. :lol:

 

[Jono078]

Lol, I dont watch superleague, I just like watching the NRL. Sorry if you get offended by it but I prefer to watch the NRL, and dont have time to watch the superleague.

no mate i dont get offended, its just because i know most aussie players. even if there not that good

I have to say, Sculthorpe has never really impressed me in the games I've seen him play. He's good, but he's not the player that the hype surrounding him would have us believe.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

He'd better than Farrell.

thats right mate he is..... farrell is just over rated theres no way that he should of won the golden boat, lockyer should of won it hands down

 

[Dragon Fanatic]

Over-rated player is that Cunningham bloke. Better than Buderus my arse.

He's a good player, definately capable of making it down here if he wanted... but I don't think he'd stand out anywhere near as much if he did play in the NRL

 

[gregstar]

He'd better than Farrell.

he's better by a billion miles!

He's sorta like Fittler... Doesn't always stand out but will inject himself with an incredible amount of presence at the right moments.
But no, he's not as good as Freddie was though

 

[simon says]

I dont rate him.....he is tough no doubts,but I wouldnt rate him in the top5 locks or the top ten backrowers.

Cheers.

 

[melon....]

No.....way....

I rate Sculthorpe highly.

When there was speculation that he was coming to Penrith in 2003 due to his links with Shane Richardson, I was like "you beauty"

Solid defender, something and no offence that is not common for an English team. He is very good in attack and offers another dimension. There arn't many true locks out there any more. I feel he is one. He is Mobile, relatively Quick, good ball player, everything you want in a lock.

I'd rate him better than Farrell and probably top 3 locks in the world at the moment.

 

[nqboy]

Fit and in form, the best lock in the world, but no 5/8, where you guys keep playing him. Far better than Farrell, would make it in the NRL.

Of the others, talau - ok, long - no, cunningham - was a great, haven't seen him for a couple of years since he got caught for drugs and had his injuries, lyon - with Gasnier - potentially the best centre in the world, wellens - FG over here I suppose, higham - seems a good player, a little hard to tell, hooper - good player and albert - good winger.

 

[coldhardbitch]

sculthorpe is excellent. Farrel is great too. i rate Sinfield and Ellis better though

(prolly biast due to being a rhino's fan!)
