SBW seems to be a pretty touchy subject...To the point where some people just can't understand what I'm trying to get at...
He IS a talented player, and he IS a very good forward.
Just that, at THIS stage of his career, in MY opinion, he's rated a far better better than he currently is.
He has the potential to become what everyone thinks he will and more so - but potential doesn't mean much until you live up to it.
Anasta is a good example - always named over-rated. That doesn't mean he's a bad player - not at all. It just means he's not as good as some people suggest.
The same with Tim Smith - some people I've spoken to (and pieces I've read) have suggest he's one of the top 3 halfbacks in the NRL. Now, while I think it's fair to say he's one of the best rookie halfbacks in the NRL, to say he's top 3 is a bit much.
He has the potential to be the best halfback in the game...But will he live up to it?
