Is this rookie already the best centre in the NRL ?

Talk about premature ejaculation//

Good player but still can't read defence for shite!

 

[Marshall_magic]

Although he plays a different position, Hurrell reminds me of Francis Meli in his earlier Warriors days. Very strong and nuggety as well as having a good turn of pace, and being very hard to tackle one on one. Hope the kid kicks on, I love watching him play.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

He isn't even the best rookie in the nrl

 

[Penrose Warrior]

I would have Taukiaho ahead of Hurrell.

Hope Konrad is ok for Friday night.

Oz, please keep your senility to our forum...off you go..there's a good fella!

Toka Likiliki makes Konrad look anorexicand he scored 3 on the wing for our U20s....

Going good, speed could send him to the forwards if he doesn't watch his fitness

 

[Brando]

He made his NRL debut in round 1 against Manly in Aukland. Aukland is also the birthplace of former Qld player Karmichael Hunt therefore he is a Queenslander.

Hurrell is switching to AFL?

:lol:

 

[_snafu_]

They don't call him the HHHUUUUURRRREEEEEELLLLLLLCCCCCAAAAANNNNNEEEE for nothing.

 

[Izz]

He will have nothing against the better defensive teams, he had nothing against us this year.

Oh noes, he didn't carve the Bulldogs up in his 3rd NRL game, in which he went off injured just after half time. He's obviously no good!

lolz

Definitely not the best centre in the comp yet, though. Lyon definitely well ahead, and there's a few others that would probably be ahead, too.

Your never in better form than in your first 50 games in the modern Rugby League.

None of the the players tendencies, quirks, weaknesses are yet identified because there isn't enough evidence to scrutinise by coaching staff, and the media and fans lap it up.

Jamie Buhrer, Jamal Idris, Leon Bott, Daniel Mortimer were all considered to be future stars in this period.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Konrad and Edrick Lee are the best rookies in the NRL. Reynolds isn't.

Can't wait to see Konrad's kiss of death in the world cup next year.

 

[Iafeta]

Thats a funny, and seemingly incorrect, generalisation there Canard. If you do your best in your first 50, why do clubs go after experienced players??? Most of our blokes are still developing into first grade players. That takes a good 50 games. I could point to a shyteload of players that are far better than when they first started.

 

[Canard]

I don't mean clubs or experts, they certainly know better. Clearly the more experienced players are recruited by people who know what they are doing.

What I mean is that the Media and Fans always massively overstate (rate) the performance of ability of someone new to the game, and rate them better for example than a player who has played 100 game in that position (like this thread is doing).
