Die hard Storm fan, but geez I would love to see this. Not only would it be great for the up and coming Titans brand, but I think it can only enhance his legacy if anything. He genuinely would change the landscape of the team and the predictions of everyone’s NRL ladder in 2021.

Cameron Smith would turn the Titans into a premiership force

I too, judge them to the highest degree. 2020 was a massive dissapointment. We looked flat majority of the season and lacked continuity in any of our game plan. Foster has a lot to work on in 2021 if he wants to extend his 2 year deal, if not, I do think a tap on the shoulder may be inevitable.
The loss of Retallick hurt us more than one could’ve ever imagined. He is the key in the pack. The conundrum with Ardie/Cane is really hard to come to a conclusion. Ardie is the better player, but Cane is the captain for the moment and is too good to bench. It is very hard to split, and Ardie is definitely not a 8.
A few hard calls will need to be made for Fozzy to improve from 2020, to this year.

Just an FYI, at the start of the article I had written, I did explain there were players I never saw myself or highlights of, so I gave them honourable mentions, ie, Bob Fulton etc. Just didnt make the final edit I guess?

Good article and I 100% agree with the notion of the article.
Brady is Jordan. Mahomes has the “potential” to be a LeBron, but he still has so many more years to prove he is of that calibre.

The only gripe I have with this article is the addition of Mike Tyson with Ali 😂
I must be the only person who does not really rate him as a heavyweight boxer, as I rated a lot of other boxers higher, but yes yes, I get the “dream” notion also lol.

Well done.

This Super Bowl is the closest thing you'll ever get to LeBron versus MJ

Great squad (Kiwi). I was saying to a few Aussie mates, it is a genuine Aussie team – full of battlers, tough, gritty players who won’t back down to anyone! I like it.

Will go down as one of the best modern day backrowers. Tireless worker, great leader and by all accounts, a great all around guy. I genuinely hope he comes to an agreement to look after himself and the rest of his life and hangs it up. He has absolutely nothing left to prove.

Please give it away, Boyd

Yeah his first one with Boston was a huge Batum shamble lol. He is the main offensive focal point at Charlotte now and he is ballin!

Is Rudy Gobert worth $200 million?

It’s tricky, if you look from a value standpoint, maybe not? But for that particular franchise and what they’re trying to do under Quinn, then maybe yes?
He does what they need of him, which is rebound, protect the paint and provides energy for their offensive players like Spida, Conley and Bog.
Let’s just say, there have been very similar amounts given to a lot worse off players previously (Nic Batum lol).

Poor Boydo must be contemplating retirement surely? I cannot see such a great player, but a seemingly a better person off the field, keep taking knocks. I hope for his sake, he is not there..
As for the Origin series comment, I agree with the other 2

From mine, at the moment that 8 seems fairly safe, but as last season showed, I think a team in your outside of the 8 group, will surprise everyone and make it (like OKC did). I really hope Phoenix lives up to the hype, I think they have all the pieces to make the 8. Houston is obviously a conundrum, depending on which form of James Harden shows up and I think the Pelicans need to figure out how to use all their tools, before they can be a playoff side. Cannot argue with your 8!

DCE sometimes didn’t play like a half, but did what he needed to do to help his team win, if it meant tucking the ball under and taking a hit up or making 15+ tackles, he did it! DCE for mine, also.

Surprised Jacob Loko didn’t make this list. I never saw a young kid from my area touted with so much excitement, than that kid. Big, skillful and talented. Extremely sad to see how it panned out, but growing up he was an absolute tear.

They need to try get rid of Fifita and possibly Moylan as fast as they humanly can. I think Dugan tries his hardest, just no luck with injuries etc.

That is a huge thing people are missing in retrospective to the season of 2020. Parra and Penrith barely travelled upon resumption of the competition. It was designed for those two teams to excel, but unfortunately only one did.

I find it hilarious everyone is counting out Cronulla, almost all my friends and relos go for the Sharks. Its beautiful to see their side not mentioned in the Top 8

“normality will resume”
That’s a big call.. I think the back to back premierships have some Roosters fan living a little delusional lol.

8th is literally a lottery. If Turbo is fit then Manly can push into 6-7th position and then force someone else out. Titans could do the job. Cronulla possibly? A lot of teams there for the fight
