Was watching the Matty Johns show last week and think it was Johns himself (could be wrong)
that said he reckons Ellis is the best forward in the world right now. Agree or disagree I thought it
was a nice change from the Burgess love that goes on down here.
Burgess has had a great season and is certainly a top player, one of the best. For some reason he gets
way more plaudits than Ellis. Perhaps thats what happens when Uncle Rusty pulls out the stops to make you
a high profile signing.
This is no way an Ellis V Burgess debate by the way, just nice to see Ellis get whats due for a change.

Burgess is better.

Ellis is a super forward though.

Most people here would say Burgess is better, but it's hard to compare. Burgess is more explosive, but does that make him better?

Personally, I think Gallen has been the best forward in the NRL this year.

"Attack is harder than defence" Puig-Aubert

Gareth Eliss isn't even the best forward at Wests Tigers let alone anywhere else



You will probably find Matty Johns is trying to get Eliss (and his chin) on his show in the near future if he made comments like that. Hes not going to say 'Well folks next week I've got this shiithouse pom on the show. Big chinned bloke. Looks a bit like a camp Roger Ramjet. Bombs dead set tries. Tune in'

Matty Johns would tell you Pauline Hansen was the greatest pollie that has ever walked the country if he thought she was coming on his show.

The bloke is a tool.


I agree Rusty has hyped little pommie Sam up to be some kind of all conquering northern hemisphere god like figure that would single handedly bring the premiership to Souths.... but we soon saw that wasn't the case




This bloke has got it dead set right

I thought this thread was about who was the best forward in the world , not just the best in the NRL.

Gallen is the best forward in the world as well as the NRL.

What a legend.

Fact.

Great forward yeah Barry,can't deny that but he is a thug as well.

I wouldnt expect the best forward in the world to be a kind gentle sentimental type

Please pick him again for NSW...



He is good for 3 penalties per game.

Fact.

Queensland - 5 in a row

Gallen adds so little to a side I say pick him for Australia.

Will help me make more cash on the Kiwis.

he's that good Gallen has led the sharks to? Oh maybe not.

If I had to sign one I'd sign Burgess, more for what he will become than what he is now. ellis gives you more now, 80mins, big on defence, runs great attacking lines. The all round No1 forward imo in the NRL this season.

People my say Thaiday or Hannatt are better but they need a rest after 18-20mins. Ellis gives you a full 80, the rest lucky to get 50 good mins out of them.

Who says Hannant?

i prefer burgess over ellis, but probably cause burgess does the fancy big hits all the time whilst ellis does more of the nitty gritty work

Correct.

Besides, until Ellis shows it at international level like Burgess has, it is all conjecture. Hopefully for England, it is only a few weeks away now as far as Ellis is concerned.

This year has improved both players in my view.

Wrong. And I can't wait to see the "Actual Best Forward In The World", James Graham, take him apart in the 4N Tournament.

James Graham couldnt take a childs jigsaw puzzle apart

Will he keep Gallen from making over 200m this time?

burgess on TFS tonight rated ellis the worlds best.

Breaking news

Pom says another pom is best in the world

Any news on the location of this Cronulla to Sydney bridge you claim exists Dally?

Rung my brother earlier...he was having dinner down Cronulla RSL at the time... he looked out of the window but he couldnt see one?

It's just that some people are suggesting you might not actually ever have been to Sydney? Can you prove them wrong?


<s>

mate stop trying so hard.

What position has Burgess mainly been playing for Souths ?

Did he not say best back rower rather than best forward?

Mainly back row.

cant remember now, maybe the accent got me wrong

they introduced him and shillington as 2 of the best props in the game as well.
