That's simply not true, for a half he's a competant defender at a minimum.

​@GooseStep1444 not for me, not when you compare him to Williams, Smith or Lomax. Wigan really got at him at Doncaster and he switched off at Old Trafford

@@turnedoutniceagain Comparing him to 2 very experienced halves is simply unfair - and I wouldn't say there is much in it vs Smith. Lewis is very committed defensively and strong for his size - came up with some great individual defensive moments this season also - certainly not close to being a speed bump. Every half in the league is a target defensively, and for the most part, it's on the forwards to protect them His defence vs George Williams at Craven Park was superb, pretty much shut him down on his own Bevan French is the best player in the comp, with some of the quickest feet in the world - I, personally won't hold it against any player for missing a tackle on him

​@GooseStep1444Grand Final, you can't miss a one on one like that. Smith Williams and Lomax all make that tackle.

@@turnedoutniceagain It wasn't a one-on-one tackle, Matt Parcell should have made first contact - but he didn't commit enough/ lazy effort Yeah, Smith, Williams, and Lomax may have made that tackle, but they may not have - we will never know.

They are a lot more valid reasons to why it's not as popular then these tackles - these tackles are not common and players do pick up big bans and over the past few years the threshold for long bans has decreased a lot.

What?

That's harsh and I was disappointed in his performances when French & Field were out, but in more or less every big game over the past 2 seasons he's been faultless and one of the best on the pitch for both Wigan & England

Not really, while the NRL is the best comp it isn't the be and end all. It's full of elite and quality talent but there's a lot of average players - there's also a lot of quality player in Super League who wouldn't look out of place in the NRL, but only the high end talent are able to make the way across to Australia - if location wasn;t an issue there would be a much higher % of UK/EU players in the NRL

@ nah, sorry dude. The best SL players who made it and succeeded in the NRL, would outdo any of the top players supposedly in the SL. Dom Young, one of the best British players in the game, is smashing it in the NRL. The lack of speed and competitiveness of the SL is nothing in comparison to the fast pace of the NRL. Adrian Morley, Elliot Whitehead, Luke Thompson, Ellery Hanley, Sam Burgess amongst others in the British game are better players because they played in the NRL.

Mose Masoe

Yawn

Sualii wasn't exactly a superstar of the NRL and he got MOTM in his first game, an international btw. Sure you've not got those mixed up?

I was watching a French Top 14 game recently and half of the forwards had actual tits. It’s understandable because there is a lot of standing around in union. The semi-pro Super XIII in France has better athletes.

Yet you're watching it. I love my union as well but it's almost unwatcheable now with the yellow and red cards. And watching live when the scrums are breaking down isn't so fun either. Each to their own.

Yeah including the most famous rugby player of the last 30 years Jonah Lomu, a born and bred leaguie.

he's an athlete and hasa those league skills but dunno if he'd be an upgrade on any of the currrent English wingers. Different story if he could transition to centre

Didn't know Leigh vs Salford was a rugby union fixture, thank you so much

Rugby Union doesn’t have a 10 metre line.

It's really not union mate!!!

No it isn't

Yeah, the poor guy will have a sour hand after that.

You talk about space hulk man you’re the definition of soft 😂

​@@BruthaShaka it's a meme mate

@ shi my bad 😅

1st one looked like the ball runner stepped into the defender, play on

cry harder

Looking like Brodie Croft instead....

@ Looking like Lachlan Ilias, Daniel Atkinson, Tyran Wishart and everyone else and their grandma 😂

yeah dominating

20years old and head and shoulders above every 2nd rower in league this year

Hardly a shock that Hull KR fans want their homegrown star to be starting for England - and it wasn't just Hull KR fans - I feel most knew Wane would pick Williams and Smith anyway Smith has one of the best-kicking games in the world, his game really shines in the big games but while you're playing in an incredible Wigan team his role can tend to fluctuate throughout the season as the value of his kicking game won't shine in big/easy wins so he wont catch the eye as often as other players - so it's not a surprise why it was a debate

I have been disappointed/wanted more from him at times throughout the past 2 seasons but in the large majority of big games he's been the best player on the field At this point, I'm not sure why anyone would say he isn't a quality player

He's not going anywhere😅

He could be OK in World Rugby. There are no signs if he would be any good off the ball.

NO WAY U ARE TAKING MY BOY

You don't have to be negative about another player to praise another.

@GooseStep1444 Very much so
