Who are the best 3 Poms to play in the NRL?

[DIOGENES]

Cliff Watson leaning against the post at the start of the 1973 GF - best example of a toughman

 

[King hit]

kevin ward at manly......ellery the salary at tigers

Great nominee legs 11, Kevin Ward. I've got that 1987 grand final and he was superb that day and probably was the best on the field. Only played 15 games down under.

Joe Burgess? f**king hell - give yourself an upper cut and hit yourself repeatedly with a brick

Your grasp of English isn't wonderful. You can't use the word "were" in relation to players who are still playing
The only players who have finished playing in the NRL from that list are Morley, Ellis and the aforementioned Burgess. Therefore they win by default and now I'm going to have to give myself an uppercut for voting for Joe Burgess. You bastard.

Well somebody's triggered lol

 

[nick87]

1. Morley
2. S. Burgess
3. Hodgson

Yep, that's how I voted too
Think it's pretty easy, though Graham is probably unlucky to miss out

Big Sam, George and Joe.

Joe is as good as his brothers.

Jack Reed has to be up there. Was good enough to play at the NRLs glamour club too.

Morley, Daylight, cant split Sam, James & Josh.

Dumb guy who can't read the key word in the thread title:"NRL." NRL started 1998.

 

[Life's Good]

NRL - Ellis, Morley & Sburgess

Before NRL - OReilly, Hanley & Chariots.

Morely, Ellis and Sam Burgess from the players I've seen.

Morley, Daylight, cant split Sam, James & Josh.

You have big wraps on Matt Daylight that highly?? He only played a handful of games in 98 for the Rams.

He was just too good for the Rams. They had to cut him to stop making the rest of the team look so bad...

Not saying Hodgson is shit, but isn't this only his 2nd year in the nrl?

You sure you rate him over poms such as Widdop, Ellis and Graham who have played at a high level for a lot longer?

 

[King hit]

He is in his 3rd year mate

Yeah i rate him as the number 2 hooker in the NRL atm. Watching him against the Roosters 2 weeks ago, he was just everywhere. I seriously doubt the Raiders would have scored a single try without him, their halves were quite ordinary. But Hodgson was just amazing, we couldn't stop him.

And you are right, Widdop, Ellis and Graham all deserve to be there too, all excellent players in their own right. We've had some excellent English players here in the NRL and long before that too. Long may it continue, I wish more would come out here.
