Top 30 players

[Hurriflatch]

The Tele today did a piece on the fact that Andy Farrell won the Golden Boot despite being considered only the 28th best player in the world.

More interestingly

Nathan Hindmarsh 5th
and
Timana Tahu 27th

also made the list.

Sure it was only the DT that selected it but still gotta be a while since 2 Eels have made the top 30 players in the world

 

[bartman]

Hindy's done well, good to see the recognition.

And I hope Tahu lives up to his career form while with us.

 

[AlexTheEel]

Who were the top 4?

 

[The Colonel]

Lockyer, Johns, Buderus and Gower in that order.

 

[BD5733]

Anyone able to post the whole list of 30?

Or am I going to have to search around on the DT website?

 

[fish eel]

Can't argue with the top 3 when their on the paddock

 

[AlexTheEel]

So Hindy is rated the best forward in the world (Yes i Know Danny Buderus is a forward but I'm talking about besides hooker)

 

[fish eel]

dont know about Gower at four though......

 

[The Colonel]

6. Sonny Bill Williams (IMO to high at this stage of his career)
7. Wing
8. Fitzgibbon
9. Morley
10. Webcke
11. O'Meley
12. Barrett
13. Kimmorley
14. Minichiello
15. Mason
16. Crocker
17. Timmins
18. Brian Carney
19. Ryles
20. Paul Sculthorpe

21. Sherwin
22. Andy Ryan
23. Kennedy ( :roll: )
24. Orford
25. Slater
26. Gidley ( :roll: )
27. Tahu
28. Andy Farrell

*As selected by Daily Telegraph.

 

[fish eel]

Crocket 16?

Wing 7?

I guess these lists have to be a bit dodgy.....otherwise noone will talk about them

 

[The Colonel]

One Kiwi? Bit harsh IMO in regards to Wiki, Rauhihi, Lauititi....

Kimmorley ahead of Orford?

Gidley and Kennedy in the top 28 IMO would have been more pertinent twelve months ago.

 

[AlexTheEel]

Webcke should be higher. I'd put him straight after Hindy. Craig Wing? what has he done all year?

 

[fish eel]

where the hell is Tonie Carroll????

 

[The Colonel]

where the hell is Tonie Carroll????

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Bennett is the only one who'd dispute that call...

 

[Jake the snake]

Berrigan

 

[fish eel]

thats it jake...no carroll, no berrigan, this list is a joke, clearly the tele have taken an anti bronco/queenslander stance when putting it together.

 

[Hurriflatch]

The list looks like it was picked by Phil Gould with the help of Ricky Stuart, Steve Folkes and Wayne Bennett

Are you serious?

Nathan Cayless, the Kiwis' best player in the series, was not there?

What load of crap.
