You don't score 150 odd tries in first grade if you're shit. Especially when you consider the back lines he was on the end of at times...

In the early 2000's he was a gun player. By about 2010 though the game had changed to the point where he wasn't as effective anymore. Mainly because he was marking up against the likes of Vatuvei, Tuqiri, Sailor, Folau... Blokes who weren't quite as quick as Nathan but had about 10 - 15 kilos on him...

Plus the job of a winger evolved. It wasn't just about scoring a try anymore. You had to be making metres off hit ups and playing like an extra forward at times and of course, he had to tackle blokes that had 10 - 15 kilos on him as well.

Still, he was a great finisher.

Running in a try or 2 each game after you're already down 40-0 doesn't mean much

Brett Morris was the absolute tits there for a while.

But Tingha, whoooooweeee. That's my vote.

Then Nightingale. Love that bloke.

Someone on LU once claimed to have attended the 1948 Grand Final.

Was it @Willow or @Twizzle ? ;-)

 

[Apey]

Why Kenny Sio of course.

 

[Tweek]

That player I like from my team..


The best would have to be cameron smith. He pretty much invented the position of chicken wing.

 

[Pedge1971]

The Fijiian Akuma Matata.

There has been plenty of good ones.

Fergo when he was on the wing for Cronulla could tip toe down the sidelines with the best of them.

Rapana can twist his body into all sorts of positions to get the ball down.

But the winner is clearly Brett Morris. That guy is so good I swear sometimes the field literally just got wider when he had the ball........................................................................................................

Still more believable than Bunniesman's Mensa claims

Love this tribute to Eric Grothe snr. No wonder he is seen as one of the greatest wingers in the games history.

 

[Willie Ray]

Grothe,boustead,B.morris,Matt Sing was exceptional and the Raiders could find a winger:...Chicka,Noa Nandruku,Leslie Vainukolo,Kenny Nagas,Sean Hoppe,Jordan Rapana and the future hall of fame legend Nick Cotric.

Theres only ever been one Brian Bevan at Warrington

 

[Mr Spock!]

Terry fahey

 

[magpie_man]

Adam MacDougall

Mad dog.
Maybe not the best but my personal favourite.
Especially after he admitted that Russell Crowe pulled him aside and told him what lines to run.

 

[THE CHAMP]

If Wendel didn't piss off and play that shit sport. where he was mainly used as a decoy runner im sure he would be considered the best winger to play League. We only had him for about 6 seasons or so but I reckon hes still the best ive seen.
