named no 5/8th as i cant think of one who has excelled this year - Todd Carney, Jarred Mullen, Greg Inglis, Benji Marshall, all have had moments but none have really put it on back to back.

Tough call, I have missed about 90 minutes of Manly's games so I found it hard to nominate one from their backline.

Fullback is the tough call - Bowen has been electric and he is one of my favourite players though you could make an argument for Peachey, Slater and Stewart (from what I have seen) as well.

1 - Matt Bowen (NQ)
2 - Nathan Merritt (Sth)
3 - Justin Hodges (Bris)
4 - Nigel Vagana (Sth)
5 - Israel Folau (Melb)
6 - Peter Wallace (Pen)
7 - Johnathan Thurston (NQ)

6. ??? A few decent 5/8 performances, but no real stand-outs IMO.
7. Johnathon Thurston by miles.

well duh!:lol:
they do appear to be the form backline in the comp at the moment, but in my opinion they definately are not the best

if Bellamy moves Geyer to 5/8, he could prove to be one of the better 5/8s in the comp after the display he gave in the last 20mins on sunday, allowing inglis to go back to the centres

I think Storm are hands down the best team in the comp, but current form has not been right

Stewart had a blinder against the Roosters on the weekend, not only his 2 tries but everything he did.....his best game of the year so far!

I've only seen a few games. Bowen, Thurston and Hodges have been the best by far in their positions. Cooper looked to be back to his best against the cows, the other game i saw him play (titans) he was also good. Same can be said for richie williams. Crocket and Falau have been ok, and I cant think of any real stand out wingers
