[Tiger_Watto]

Darren Lockyer stands above all of these…

People confuse BEST with EXCITING!!!

 

[stryker]

There is NO WAY he is the best player in the comp this year. The fact he couldnt produce at Origin level puts him a fair way down the list.

 

[Marshall_magic]

lol Bryce Gibbs is a funny man, Josh Miller.

Hayne is certainly up there, but for me Thurston stands above all others. If they want to talk current from, it's Todd Carney.

 

[Chris]

Beau Ryan - Chris Heighington.

:laughing: I dont think saying doggiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeessssssssss is part of the criteria

 

[Balmain_Tiger]

effin bull crap.
hayne is doing it all over again!
playing shit all season and then he has a handful of good games and is all of a sudden a good again.
what a joke

 

[tigerdre]

I will probably get laughed at but i think Lockyer is the greatest player ever to play rugby league.
& yes better than Johns,Lewis,Langlands & so on

 

[Marshall_magic]

Lockyer is defintely right up there. How many players were the best player in the world in 1 position, then changed, and in 3 years became the best player in the world in their new position? He is the only player to captain 5 straight origin series wins. He has won premierships with Brisbane (in both positions). He holds all sorts of records at international level. Whilst I personally wouldn't rate him at number 1 (of all time), he definitely has a very strong case to be ranked there.
