Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3456045, member: 9853"] Yes, it's a subjective and relative term. Everyone who gets paid to play sport, particularly the NRL, is an "elite" athlete. Those who get chosen in representative teams are "elite" amongst that group. And then there are the "elite" within that "elite" group. In Jamayne's case, playing 5 test matches for one of the "elite" rugby league countries (Aus, UK, NZ) makes him "elite" enough for me. But, as above, he's certainly not one of the "elite" test players. Whether you're prepared to call someone like Kurt Capewell - who's played multiple games for QLD, but has been in fairly poor form recently - "elite" is a highly subjective exercise. But just the fact he's second ranked to be captain of the Broncos makes him one of our "elite" players. None of this bears any relationship to being a future "immortal," which involves sustained excellence at the top rung of the "elite" group. As for the term "star," you only need to get fucked in front of a camera to become a porn star. [/QUOTE]
