Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3201779, member: 8988"] Yeah, that's my take on it too. We have to remember a lot of the players would head off to training after working (sometimes hard labour). Combine full time professionalism with a better understanding of diets and the money to make it all work, of course they can do things players of the past simply couldn't. But what is readily apparent is the impact the great players had on those around and the game itself. Watch the Combined Brisbane Team's win in the Panasonic cup (a team of the best professional players residing in Queensland) and you will instantly understand just how great a player Lewis was, even among fellow greats. Likewise the same with lockyer or langer. They stand out. It's telling that we have very few players who even come to that for us at the moment. I put lockyer ahead of Lewis for the broncos having said all that (but not for their respective careers beyond our club). His impact was so much larger for us. [/QUOTE]
