Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 2810754, member: 8275"] This might anger a few but the entire 'Hook' generation (as I call them - all his boys from his 'vaunted' under 20's runner-up team) are all massively overrated. Not one of them will ever be a true superstar of the game. We have suffered from investing largely in an entire generation of 'average joes' (by NRL standards) who (and Hoggman is the leading example of this) consider themselves the equal of the genuine superstars we have had in our past and not one of them has achieved anything like any of our genuine superstars from the past. They include (in no particular order) McCullough, Glenn, Hunt, Norman, Hoffman, McGuire and dare I say it - Kahu. Out of the lot of them the 'biggest' thing they have ever achieved is they have come runners up. In Under 20's and some in NRL. Yet they are treated by many and seen in the same light as people who came before them (and in some cases since). Let's just throw a few names in the same positions and see how this crop stack up? Walters, Thorn, Langer, Lockyer, K Hunt, Webcke and Hancock... These current players are all 'fine' players, but none of them will kick on and be true superstars. Not one of them. Want to know why we haven't won a premiership in 11 years? Start by looking at who we are putting our 'faith' in. Players that are mostly good enough to keep us competitive most years and that is it.
