Where will SBW rank among the game's best ever second rowers?

Haha the fail is strong in this thread.

He's the most talented forward of all time. I haven't seen another forward even close.
I havent seen Everest or Kilimanjaro. Therefore Mt Kosciusko is the highest mountain ever :crazy:

how long is enough to be considered a great? Take DallyM for example. 6 seasons, 50 games. Gets the awards named after him, and is in the team of the century.
Next year is SBW's 7th and he'll get to a century of games. That's enough for him to cement his status as a great
It must be a bit like the Robert Johnson/Crossroads thing - sold his soul to the devil to become the greatest bluesman of his generation. Roosters fans sold their brains to win a comp.

Robert Johnson - great, great bluesman. Crossroads - good movie.:cool:

SBW - the Ralph Macchio of Rugby League.

I can hear Pip/Fart Krying/Gonzo/Dalek/Tommy Sniff stroking the OMG penis - "wax on, wax off"

Loved the Steve Vai dual though!

So you are a bluesman Maggie? Are you a Muddy man or in the BB camp?

If SBW stayed in Rugby League for the entirety of his career, I think he may have been the best second rower of all time.

It's a good question this one. SBW has demonstrated himself to have all the attributes to be the best ever second rower. He's also consistent in the fact that he plays at a high level on a regular basis. The argument against is the lack of games that he has played. Both are good points. It is hard to place him higher then a player that has played at a similar level but has played twice the games.

I'm going to sit on the fence on this one :sarcasm:

The butthurt is really lingering isn't it Loudy?

You must have cried like a little girl when SBW put in a legendary, all-time great second half performance to win the Premiership!

At 18-8 you must have been so excited! And if we lost you'd still be giving it to Sonny.

But alas we didn't. SBW stepped up like a legend and won his team a comp. Similar to what Hindy did in 2001 right?

24 second half points is still a record, right? (apart from 75 and 08)

Im sure Hindy's personal trophy cabinet s fuller than SBW's.

Funny how you lot ignore the Jennings miracle try!

Well SBW has two NRL Premierships, a Union World Cup, a Super 15 Rugby Title. He might be about to add a RLWC title and will certainly add a WCC medal in February.

What's in Hindy's cabinet?

But let's please not compare the two. One's a club stalwart the other is a genius.
