in cayless prime her is better than most of the props mentioned, he was held in the same breath as webkey in 2000/2001. out of the props u mentioned he is better than skando, kite, ross, fui, morley at the very least. webkey has reitired. thats takes 6 props off your list. he would be up there with the othe rmentioned. he is not a block busting asotasi, or masson.. he is past that, rather a workhorse type prop ala price and omealy. i still rate him better than jason cayless, some other players like mason have a size advantage over him, but her shows so much more ticker than some of these blokes. Again players like asotasi, and and mason play low minutes compared to cayless, so they can have more impact. id have cayless in my team over any prop in the world, he has shown his class.
Sorry mate, but most of that post sounds like a Canterbury supporter defending there fans.
Scando, is a bloke who would've played Origin if he was at a more succesful club, Kite is an SOO player, Ross is a very good GF wining prop and Morley? well.....he's a superstar of the game.....who imo was the Roosters forward pack last year.
As for Fui?, so you'd rather Cayless then Fui? hmmm, i bet if Fui was avaliable now along with Cayless who would get the most and biggest offers.
Work Horse?, so by your rationale Chad Robinson, Peek, Grimaldi are better players aswell?, they were the work horse types, sorry to win a GF you need props who have an impact on the game, and make the yards when there needed, probably why we always choke, because we never had our props step up in the big games.
Asotasi and Mason play just as much minutes as Cayless, if not more, Cayless found it hard to even start games this year, little lone star in.
I'm sorry, Cayless is a good player, but fair dinkum he's not a bench mark for props and never has been, he does his job and trys to lead our team, but to have him over Mason, O'Meley, Perto, Morley etc is just ludicrous, as much as i hate those players.
Cayless isn't consistent enough to be considered a premier prop in the game, actually he'd probably just a whisker ahead of Vella as a player.
PS, i know Webcke retired, it was based on this years players.
