I think Hindmarsh has been the most consistant forward for the past couple of years.
Mason can change a game more than any other forward.

Hard to say - Kennedy's certainly one...

Nathan Hindmarsh would probably get my vote, but I do worry that he's becoming viewed or used as a defensive workhorse, and he's a much better all-round player than that - his ball running and off-loading are also superb.

1. Ben Kennedy <--- Insprtational player Manly wouldn't be where they are without him
2. Nathan Hindmarsh <-- Workhorse player and Parra wouldn't be there without him
3. Carl Webb <--- Impact player and gives another dimension to a quality Cowboys side

Hindmarsh and Kennedy, I wouldn't like to split them. If Hindy would cut back his defence a bit then he'd easily be the best but he tires himself out making tackles.

I think the most under rated forward in the NRL is Tony Puletua, I think on his day he's better than Kennedy. His apprentice Frank Pritchard is also very destructive, unfortunatly he seems to be under-utilised by Penrith.

Easily O'meley. No one does their job as well as he does. No one in the game sets the platform like he does. Not even Webcke gets his team going forward as much as Shrek does.

Morley - no one keeps the opposition in check as much as he does
O'Meley - best prop in the game
Hindmarsh - just a freak

Right now I would say Hindmarsh or Kennedy.

But if they were healthy, Sonny Bill and Mason would be right up there.
