Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 2483595, member: 2021"] I'm not arguing that anyones better though, just there isn't a massive gap. Smith has a combination that's been going for like 7 years now at club, QLD and AU level, when Farah plays origin or Australia he's playing with guys he plays with, what once a year? IIRC he's basically the only Tiger who makes it at rep level which says a lot about the team he plays in. BP - When I'm speaking Smith V Farah, I'm very much speaking 2012 till current, before then there probably was daylight between them, Farah has improved his game a lot since then, he's cut out a lot of the killer mistakes he used to make, been an excellent player for NSW and is consistently the best player for the Tigers. It's also easier for Farah to make pressure cooking mistakes because well, Smith is always playing in winning teams. Storm, QLD, AU, have any of those teams not been the benchmark basically since 2006? Not only the benchmark, but generally WAY above the oppositions level. Farah plays in an average Tigers team behind a usually pretty poor forward pack and a lot of the time he's forced to overplay his hand because well, it's been basically him and Marshall who are always put into must win situations thanks to the teams poor seasons performance. When you're always winning it's a lot easier to not over play your hand and when you're passing the ball to guys like Lockyer, Thurston, Cronk, Slater, well you don't need to do it all. [/QUOTE]
