Message: [QUOTE="Alec, post: 2088261, member: 1795"] I am not saying he's in better form than Slater. That is not how players are rated IMO. Well, not completely on that. Hunt has shown us how good he is in the last 2 seasons...as have Bowen and Gidley. And they all had great 06s/07s (Bowen didn't really have a great 06 really, but still had an amazing 07 though). At their best, they are better than Slater. They all also offer a lot more with the ball. That's another reason why I rate fullbacks like that - they can come in as a 5/8th when needed. And sometimes it's needed a lot, since most real 5/8ths these days are just centres. Slater is lucky he is playing with Cam Smith in the side. Cam Smith plays like a hooker and halfback at the same time, while Cronk plays as a 5/8th. All Slater has to do is run through holes, and that's what he's doing...and doing well I guess, but that's not enough for me to rate him as the best fullback in the world. Also another thing on form, you just watch it go right down in the second half of the season when he doesn't get picked for Origin, or if Smith gets injured. Would he still be the best fullback then?
