Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3474315, member: 1899"] It's not like the players who have been signed by Newcastle and the Gold Coast are being pursued by every NRL club. Typically they're only pursued because clubs are desperate and they can't attract local talent. You're probably right about Pryce and Welsby being the stand-outs and that's the problem. As it currently stands, neither of them are in that class of player I mentioned and while they have potential it could easily go the other way. Especially in the case of Pryce who is making questionable career choices. Also there's never been any doubts over the quality of their forwards. That's why it's so strange they struggle so much with the outside backs. Roby would have to have played NRL to be considered the best regardless. That's why most NRL fans would consider Hodgson the superior dummy half. While we're speculating if Smith didn't make it in the NRL I think there would have been a split with Buderus, Farah, Luke, Ennis, N. Friend, J. Friend, Fien all being thereabouts. If Roby would have to win a Tri-Series/Four Nations/World Cup he would be far more respected in the NRL. [/QUOTE]
