[QUOTE="Tubularbandage, post: 683906, member: 71749"] Zed. I'm sorry but I strongly disagree. You don't se 20m passes in League? No spin passes? You really haven't watched the same stuff as me. The number of miss passes, pop passes, flicks, long passes in modern rugby league is massive. If you think an average nrl forward doesn't have ball handling skills equal to or superior to an average union forward you are mistaken in my view. And why compare passes a 10 makes when we're talking about an 8. I agree that a union 10 has far better passing skills than most league players......but he has better passing skills that most Union players too. That's why he's a ten. Donmcdazzle. While I agree that all the League players you mention have individual attributes that may be equal to or better than SB, the whole package is not as potent. With the possible exception of SBW if I gave you the choice of any of them or Sam.....pretty sure you'd pick Sam. Every time. And again you're not comparing like for like. Eastwood fir example is a fat centre not a lock forward. [/QUOTE]
