Being the best of a bunch of nuffies (Raiders & Warriors) hardly qualifies you to a worlds best tag.
Why is it only now, that hes won something is this brought up?
We hear a few murmurs from his staunchest fans over the last few years, nothing more.
because it would have been futile argueing this case while he was at canberra, because my opinion would have been dismissed as biased by the likes of you... his stats even at poor clubs have been up there with the best in the business... he plays in the grind of week to week NRL and rarely comes up against someone who gets the better of him, he carried a very mehish Raiders pack on his broad shoulders for many years, along with Croker and Davico when he was on the park... but neither of them rose to an occasion quite like Rubin
Which is why he is the most capped International, captain of his country, should have been captain of his beloved raiders (had they not given it to germ to keep him at the club) and is the first picked Kiwi so long as he is fit... and you can bet your bottem dollar he'd be one of the first aussies pick if he was played for us...
To a degree i probably am biased, i love Muss, he is a champion bloke and even better player, but i honestly do not see another forward who is as good as him and has been for so many years. Hindmarsh, Webcke etc are all with him there but the fact Rubin is still doing it just as good as them with a few years on him speaks volumes about him... Muss is #1 IMO
