Definitely not Neilsen. He's a nuffie. He'd have to be a very high candidate for most overrated player in the comp, and certainly in the top 3 for luckiest players to play Origin in the past 15 years. I just don't rate the guy and would be very disappointed if we forked out anything more than semi-decent money to get him.
FTR, I would have backed Inu 110 times out of 100 against Neilsen, I would have him in my squad anyday of the week (this is of course before the "I was only there for the money" media comment which leaves a sour taste). I could never get over the fact the bloke could not get a gig in the centres at our club when we were always short of a centre. I guess this is why the likes of Des Hasler are in the elite strata of coaches and Daniel Anderson, Ivan Cleary and Brian McClennan are not... they know how to take a dude with a bad attitude, look at his prodigious talent, tap into his head and switch him on deliver on his potential. I expected McClennan, given how much they talk up his people management skills to be able to do this. He had no idea what to do with him and it seems to me the club became frustrated more with their own inability to manage him and gave up cold. It irks me as a sick joke to see Inu destroying other mobs at the Dogs (destroying Neilsen today is very ironic), was his on field really that bad that he continually found himself in the Vulcans? His try scoring record for the Warriors suggests he was in fact quite useful and quite dangerous.
