Best of the Generation

in #nrl6 years ago

My thoughts

1.) Lockyer - Like Smith he's as calm as you get and controls all the games he contend. He had all the time within the world and perpetually gave the impression to build the correct play. I actually have him level with JT as a half, primarily however have him at a pair of as a result of he dominated a pair of immensely completely different positions and was slightly higher defensively.

2.) Smith - the best leader within the sport bar none. He wins everyplace he goes and has dominated his position for nearly a pair of decades. His facet lost by forty points within the grandfinal once he wasn't there. He influences the ruck, the referees, the morale of his team and controls field position higher than anyone. he is got the sport best suited to longevity however still makes 40+ tackles a game and goes to be the highest pointscorer ever.

3.) JT - most likely the most effective offensive weapon of this generation. Deservedly got his priemiership once years of heartache in 2015. an excellent goal-kicker and nice leader in addition. His defensive talents is why i am unable to justify putt him before Smith a bloke UN agency habitually ace tackle counts into his middle 30s.

4.) Billy - most likely the foremost fun to observe. an excellent reader of the sport UN agency had a good partnership with Smith and Cronk. conjointly a good organiser of the defensive position and simply ne'er stops running. most likely does not quite have the individual accolades of the others to be any higher, however while not a doubt the most effective fullback of his generation and argualy the most effective ever at that position.

5.) Cronk - a good organiser and nearer of matches. valuable in Origin and perpetually gave the impression to build the correct play at the correct moment. robust defensively and has most likely the most effective kicking game I've ever seen (outside of perhaps Joey).

Then you get into the Inglis, Hayne, Gallen etc of this generation.

This is just like the post Joey era therefore I did not embrace guys from his generation.
