Loved the second one as a player; one of the best competitors ever - can't stand him for what he seemingly done post-career.

He undoubtedly has the best career ever. Whether that makes him the best player I do not know. Billy Slater had more natural ability than him and literally ushered in a generation of superstar fullbacks that we're seeing now. But he doesn't have more accolades than Smith. That's how they judge this shit
 
it's funny- the people who call him a GOAT are usually his ex teammates. Guys like Slater, Lockyer, Thaiday and even Gallen.

He's cheating scum. So glad he is no longer playing.
 
Geez calling anyone who played hooker and 400 games over rated is abit tough regardless of what team they played for.

We saw what Grant did in his rookie year behind our side, put him behind Storm pack and he should look like a world beater as well.

It’s official. Only ever played in sides full of stars, his club side is better off without him. Harry Grant should be made an immortal before referee Smith. And Barb should hand back the diamonds. And the boats.

I thought the pubs were closed.

Seriously though, hated the guy on the footy field for many reasons, but abilities as a player weren't amongst them

He’s the reason that club has been able to transition to the next generation so seamlessly . He drove all the standards and culture , to such a high extent that when he left it was seeping out of the walls . The guy was beyond frustrating to watch and Barack against but no way was he overrated .

They can’t look pass thier own biases . It’s more a reflection on themselves than anything. He took gamesmanship to another level , and I yelled “cheat” many thousand times . But that doesn’t change anything he did when the ball was in play .
 
I think it speaks volumes to how good Bellamy is. I think most people would have thought they would come back to the field once Smith, Slater and Cronk finished up, but they didn’t. Then comes Munster, Hughes, Grant and Pap. Greatest coach of all time.

Good to see you don’t hold a grudge
 
In my opinion of watching 50 years of NRL. Above average player, excellent Captain, definitely not the GOAT. Doesn’t make my top 5 and probably not even top 10 of the last 50 years. But how do you compare a hooker to a centre to a fullback…. It’s always been dicey. Like comparing Winx and Phar Lap.
