Rubin Wiki is a league god as far as im concerned. One of the true greats of the game, on and off the feild...

 

[1stNov2000]

anyone know how many times he was voted by his peers as the hardest tackler in the NRL? was it just that once last year?

 

[The Observer]

Awesome player. The fact that he can be a dominant centre, than a dominant backrower and prop is a testament to his ability.

 

[Carlito]

i would as well, but in saying that there are a few others i wouldnt mind next to me. with hindmarsh being one

Yeah, I'd use his arse for cover!

Anyone who's a Kiwi fan, or a Warriors fan, or even a Tri Nations fan should bow down to Ruben Wiki when they see him next.

You know its guys like Ruben Wiki, Im glad he's playing Rugby League. The bloke shows so much passion for his club and country, he gives 100%. He's so passionate about the sport.

When I see him singing the national anthem, doing the haka, he shows a lot of pride for his country.

In the test matches New Zealand won against Australia, it was on the back of his performances. He gave it his best, takes it up like there's no tommorow, and a good captain for New Zealand. I start to wonder why Australia didnt have anyone like that this year. Shows we miss Shane Webcke.

He's a tough player too, he cant take no for answer when he gets injured. That performance against the Roosters in the semi final when he was with the Raiders was unbelievable, I still cant believe he decided to play in that game, a week after he was on crutches. What a tough player.

Ruben Wiki, I take my hat off to you.

Crowned NZ Player of the year for the 2nd time recently.

One of my all time favourite players, will go down as the greatest Kiwi in the history of the game eventually imo. He's a player that's still underrated in my eyes..He's played 50 test matches, that alone puts him in the top 5 players from the past 10 years. He really is up there. He's dominated in 3 positions..He was an amazing centre who belted the crap outta anybody. Easily the most devastating defensive centre i've ever seen. I mean he just creamed guys, took them outta the game. And on attack he was equally as destructive, he just ran over the top of his opposition centre...good passer of the ball...He set Nadruku up for plenty of tries. He's dominated in the 2nd row for Canberra, you have him running out a little wider and he can still wreak havoc, cos he's still got great pace for a big man. This is his best position at the moment imo. But he can still dominate in the middle of the mark and belt opposition front rowers, make amazing yardage.

So yeah who else has dominated 3 positions like that?..I sure cant think of anybody. Let's not forget he's played lock for the kiwis too.

There was an awesome segment on 60 minutes last night of him..who else saw it? Lesley Vainikolo & Manu Vatuvei were both over at his house drinking kava. The reporter drank some with them lol. They went to Otara markets n stuff...it was a tight segment. He reckons he's gonna play till 40. He says "well i've broken a couple of records in the test arena...may as well try for it" lol Who doubts the guy?

Losing him from the Raiders......it still hurts me...we'll never recover and fill that void. There's only 1 Ruben Wiki.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

Not many teams lose a big name player yet still find him to be a god lol.

As a raiders fan i was upset he left but the service he did for us and the effort speaks volumes.

I hope he plays alot longer, its an honour watching him carve teams up.
