[Parra Pride]

Surely Fui would have to be in the top 5 props at the moment.

 

[Rebel]

Shaun Johnson is better that Foran and San-doh

 

[saint_marto88]

Hodges and Gidley are strange selections for me though. Boyd would have to be no. 2 if it's based on form.

It was very hard for me near the end of each positon. There are about one or two standouts, then it's just strong opinion on the rest.

[Jono078]

For those that were following my sim thread, this is the top 5 I have rated in each position:

Fullbacks
1 Billy Slater
2 Darius Boyd
3 Jarryd Hayne
4 Brett Stewart
5 Nathan Merritt - FTR Dugan is 6th currently.

Winger
1 Akuila Uate
2 Manu Vatuvei
3 Jharal Yow Yeh
4 Michael Gordon
5 Jason Nightingale

Centre
1 Greg Inglis
2 Jamie Lyon
3 Justin Hodges
4 Matt Cooper
5 Michael Jennings

Halves
1 Benji Marshall
2 Johnathan Thurston
3 Cooper Cronk
4 Jamie Soward
5 Keiran Foran

Props
1 Matt Scott
2 Petero Civoniceva
3 Aiden Tolman
4 James Graham
5 Kade Snowden

Hooker
1 Cameron Smith
2 Robbie Farah
3 Danny Buderus
4 Matt Ballin
5 Issac Luke

Backrowers
1 Paul Gallen
2 Sam Thaiday
3 Nathan Hindmarsh
4 Luke Lewis
5 Sam Burgess

Backrowers is tough, there's about 10 more I could name that could be considered top 5. Corey Parker, Frank Pritchard, Nate Myles, Glenn Stewart, Chris Heighington, Anthony Watmough, Ben Creagh, Gareth Ellis.

 

[typicalfan]

Frank Pritchard isn't top 5. The Tigers have 3 better ones alone, maybe 4 if you include Fulton. Broncos have 3 better ones alone. I rate Glenn above Pritchard.

 

[Jono078]

Id actually probably have Stewart and Heighnington in my 5 and remove Hindmarsh now, possibly Burgess too.

 

[sputneek]

FB: Slater, Stewart, Boyd, Hayne, Dugan
WG: Uate, Vatuvei, Yow-Yeh, Nightingale, Gordon (Merritt would be above Yow-Yeh if he played wing)
CT: Lyon, Inglis, Lawrence, Hodges, Cooper
FE: Thurston, Marshall, Foran, Widdop, Carney
HB: Cronk, Cherry-Evans, Pearce, Johnson, Sandow
PR: Scott, Civoniceva, Learoyd-Lahrs, Graham, Hannant
SR: Thaiday, Ellis, Watmough,
LK: Gallen, Lewis, Bird, Parker,

Don't know why Brett Stewart is rated 2nd best by most.

You wouldn't, you're a Storm fan. When there's a thread about cheating by all means contribute, otherwise you should stfu.
