The days are gone when a winger can be judged purely on how many tries he scores.
This kid is good but there are a more than a few ahead of him.

Of course Melbourne fans will be declaring him the GOAT soon.
I'll give you a like for that ol' mate, even if it is obvious a Winger who doesn't do his share of hitups, defuse bombs and can tackle well most of time won't get a run in a good team . . . Viva Rap-an-a, even in a shit team

The Storm must hate him for it. If he passed to the left in the GF they would've been premiers

I personally think Chambers is the most over-rated player in the comp.
Very good ball runner, fair defender (too often out of position). Can't pass left to right and rarely passes at all. Subject to way too many brain explosions.
I think Origin 2 this year summed him up perfectly. Some great attacking runs, 150 metres and a try assist...BUT... was caught way out of position twice - centrefield at marker - which meant Glasby had to defend wider against fast moving backs where he wouldn't normally be. Two NSW tries right there. And when was the last time you saw a centre get dragged into touch twice in a game?
I wouldn't feed the bloke.

Josh Mansour is one of the two best wingers in Lebanon, not in Australia.

Jordan Rapana and Semi Radradra are the two best wingers in the NRL, and neither is Australian.

Suliasi Vunivalu is the third best winger in the NRL and he, like Semi Radradra, is Fijian.

I think if Mansour stays healthy he's up there. It's no coincidence that Penrith have been rubbish this season without him.

Mansour is one of the best wingers in the game. He is everything a modern day winger should be. Remember Holmes wouldn't have played for Australia if Mansour was injured.

Yeah to be fair to Chambers that happened awfully quick. On the first viewing I actually didn't see Cooper Cronk on the inside either, it was only when Peter Sterling pointed it out on the replay I noticed Cronk.

Hindsight's a wonderful thing.

He plays with them every week and didn't look!

Backing up is one of the key platforms of Bellamy's coaching. The surprise would have been if Cronk wasn't there. (Or Munster, Blair, Hampton or Korobete)

But Chambers didn't look. Pumpkin.

Chambers created that opportunity out of nothing. Sure you can go on about how he didn't pass it to Cronk but if it wasn't for Chambers they wouldn't of had that chance at all and I doubt he would of been able to hear him calling. And 9 times out of 10 I would back Chambers to beat Barba 1 on 1 that close to the line. It was a great tackle from Barba that saved the Sharks

It all happened so fast, I think it would've been a miracle had he'd gotten a pass away, let alone an accurate 1.

Slow motion from side on indicates he could've passed. Normal speed from front on shows otherwise.

Here's the clip, but it's not very good one because it doesn't show it in normal speed. I love these armchair critics suggesting Chambers bombed a sitter. :rolleyes:

Chambers doesn't don't lose us that Grand Final, our first half did. We wouldn't have had a shot without Will.

If we don't dwell too long on 2016 we've still got time to go through Wankerland's every close 'One-Game-Season' since 1998 and decide who should've won

I'll start it off for Dragons' supporters . . . 1999: f**king Ainscough

Not sure he's up there. So, it's only right that I wait to see if he ever plays for The Warriors, before making any final conclusions.
