Blazza My rating is this: Thurston best and most expensive and Smith the most valuable, ok. They are both incredible. Dont hang out waiting for Sandow to make Hayne look good. Sandow is more of an individualist with a poor tactical kicking game who failed to set up his outside men when at Souths. Thurston has had massive injuries in recent years to both shoulders and he still has put in. RL is a team game and one guy can only do so much. Did you watch the last 5 origin series, the recent 4 Nations and last Sat Indigenous game? Thurston was the standout.

Blazza, Harsh! I dont think Hayne has too many bad games, it is just everyone expects him to be BOG every week. I shudder to think what would happen to the Eels without him. Slater is the best fullback, but there is a struck match between him and Tomkins, who is a freak. The best player is cearly Thurston and has been since 2006. Technically Hayne is probably best suited to left wing, but when you pay I guy that much he must play a key position otherwise your cap is stuffed.
