Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2709659, member: 1899"] Fittler is definitely Hall of Fame worthy, but what I think Unbreakable is getting at is that Lockyer was a better player in his era and should be recognised before him. I could be out of line here, but it seems like Freddy's career suffers somewhat from being overrated. This was a player the media kept trumpeting as the best player in the game, a once in a lifetime player and he was the poster child of the ARL during the Super League war. However, Freddy didn't live up to those claims until his final few years. He wasn't terrible or anything, but as far as the hype was concerned, he wasn't THE guy and even in his final few years, there were a few players in-front of him. In 2002 it was Joey Johns In 2003 it was Darren Lockyer, Craig Gower or Joey Johns (take your pick) In 2004 it was Darren Lockyer or Danny Buderus Great player, but not THE representative of his era.
