Simply the Best

[Woody90]

He’s aptly named. Needs his own thread.

 

[Zoidberg]

What did I miss? Minecraft Steve?

And yes, if he can stay on the field he is one of our greats.

I re-named it to avoid confusion

 

[perverse]

Phenomenal player, and was literally always going to be. The most obviously brilliant junior we've had in a long long time. He's very unlucky to be playing in the era of Latrell and Crichton. It's great fortune for us to be honest, but I feel for him. I don't know if there's anything he could do to unseat either of them.

 

[Yosh]

His attack is excellent but his defense is even better in my opinion. Hope he can stay fit because he is a world class player.

 

[Apey]

Love Bradman when he's fit. Concerned every game hes going to break his Turbo like hamstrings though.

I've always critiqued his ability to pass because I swear when he gets it right it looks like an accident. In that sense he reminds me of a (better) Junior Sa'u. They've been coming off lately though and thats all that matters.

He needs more early ball.

 

[macavity]

Better than Latrell.

 

[Woody90]

Better than Latrell.

At consistent centre play, definitely.

 

[Knight Tales]

Queensland would kill to have him.

Better than Latrell.

100% he is

 

[perverse]

Better than Latrell.

Club footy, yeah. Consistent contribution, yeah. I wouldn't pick him over a fit Latrell in a big rep game though. Latrell has "it", and is probably the most naturally gifted player in the comp for mine. It's a real shame he's never had the work ethic to match his immense talent.

I wouldn't trade Braddy for Latrell as a club player so I do agree with you in some sense, but yeah it is what it is imo. Opinions will vary but it's generally how I feel, and I'd love to see Bradman play more origin.

The good thing for Braddy is that he's got a 5 year age advantage on Latrell, and with Latrells general lack of fitness, there may only be another few good years out of him. It's incredible that Bradman is still only 23. His time will come.

I dunno. Best is pretty devastating at rep level too. Latrell can pull off some absolutely spectacular plays that Best can’t but also isn’t super consistent.

In his chances at rep level Best has probably given an 8/10 consistently through all his games. In the same game Latrell is either going to give you a 10 or a 6. Comes down to what you’re after I guess.

 

[Apey]

Best is more consistent but I don't think there's a single thing he does better than Latrell, except defence.

line breaks.

 

[Knight Tales]

If Trell hits God Mode then there is no stopping him. And while it is few
And far between , it is the unpredictability of when it happens that really makes him who he is as a player. It begs the question would Penrith be where they are now if he played in the 2021 GF.

Not being fat.

Sure, but the way rep selectors think, and I do too I guess, is that I want the guy that can deliver 10's in those arenas. And Latrell does. He delivers on the big stage. That's why he keeps getting picked.

2x Premiership winner for a reason and almost always slots the huge pressure conversions too.

Funnily enough he still comes in second to Crichton though in the big moment stakes.

 

[Yosh]

Let's say To'o can't play game three. Is there a world where they play Best and Latrell on the same side?
