Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and General Drivel XIV

[lingard]

he's about as good as greg inglis is at 5/8th

Mmm. I think he's better at five-eight than Inglis is.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Lyon played in the halves in England and won off memory two man of steel awards. Does that count?

I'm sure Rangi Chase would agree with you.

 

[hineyrulz]

I'm sure Rangi Chase would agree with you.

Are you saying Rangi Chase isn't elite????

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Are you saying Rangi Chase isn't elite????

Isn't that where they filmed Skippy?

 

[magpie4ever]

Isn't that where they filmed Skippy?

Didn't they build a railway bridge/line there?

 

[carson]

Wasn't he in the 3 Amigos???

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Used to be called Chatswood Chase but the Maoris filed a land rights claim.

 

[Craig Johnston]

Mmm. I think he's better at five-eight than Inglis is.

agreed, but the point is there's no point disregarding lyon's ability in the halves, if inglis can be acknowledged as one of the game's "elite"

 

[byrner]

I have just seen chris sandow and some of the other boy at lunch. Looking fit! #EELS2014

True.

What other boy did you see? And what bits of him did you see? Be more specific.

I'd go so far as to say that Lyon is, overall, a better player than Inglis. I think Hayne is a better player than Inglis, too. Inglis still has a little bit to prove and a few more years before I go calling him great.

 

[El Diablo]

....

 

[cb4]

He's also played five-eight for Manly on a number of occasions.

Won a premiership in 2008 playing in the 6.

 

[hineyrulz]

Won a premiership in 2008 playing in the 6.

Pretty sure no one won a premiership in 08.

 

[IFR33K]

Lyon>>gasnier that's for sure.

Wow.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Yeah Hayne isn't a better player than Inglis. That's just nonsense.

 

[lingard]

I think he is. If Inglis can maintain his form for a few more years, that might be a different thing, but as it stands at the moment I'd have no hesitation in declaring Lyon better than Inglis.

 

[lingard]

Yeah Hayne isn't a better player than Inglis. That's just nonsense.

Has Inglis yet done anything near what Hayne did in '09? No. Has Inglis had to carry a team yet, like Hayne has? No. Inglis has had the luxury of playing with elite players at Melbourne and Queensland, and behind arguably the best pack of forwards in the game at Souths. And then you look at Hayne and Parramatta.
And who performed better for Australia in this last world cup? Hayne or Inglis? No contest, in my book. Hayne wins hands down.
