After the Tonga vs Australia match, it is clear. Valentine Holmes is the best winger in the world in 2018 by a big margin. His ability to score tries is freakish.

Jermaine McGillvary and Ryan Hall are not even close.

Only Dallin Watene-Zelesniak can come close to Holmes.

Yep

Edit Durham Giant.

Let me explain this slowly so you can understand.

This is a RL forum people have opinions you can either agree with them or disagree with them. Or you can ignore them.

Whether you like it or not some people regard it as an a topic for discussion.

Every. Time you complain about the posters motives etc you derail the thread.

Derailing threads is against he AUP . As such I am giving you a warning and tidyingthe thread up

Anymore and you. Will be banned

I warned Capdouze yesterday. He is banned for 14 days. For ignoring his last warning

Edit

Valentine Holmes 2018 club record - Played 10 games, scored 7 tries

Ethan Ryan 2018 club record - Played 30 games, scored 36 tries

So just on try scoring along, Ethan Ryan is a better winger and a more consistent try scorer

But that was not the OP's criteria for being the best winger in the world. It was to do with scoring tries.

Ergo - by the OP's own definition - Ryan is the best winger in the world.

Really? How does my thread "the most astute club boss" fit in with this claim?

In any case, do you have a rational basis for disagreement with this judgment of Holmes?

What is negative about celebrating the talent of one player?

No partners manufactured this thread. Just the amazing Jean all by himself.

Edit Durham Giant I gave you a warning yesterday about derailing threads and not sticking to RL you seem not to have been able to understand it. Reflect on it for the next14 day whilst banned from he VT.Edit

Greg Eden has 48 tries in 43 appearances for Castleford.
Is there (or has there been) anyone in the NRL or SL with a better tries:games ratio?

Doesn’t Luke Briscoe have some try scoring record

Not in NRL or SL though.
Think he holds the record for scoring a try in the most consecutive games.

Now that is tidied up. Pease discuss your views on the worlds greatest winger

My apologies to Willzay for accidentally deleting his post on this topic..

The only player I can think of from the modern era that comes close would be Vainikolo at Bradford with 152 appearances and 149 tries

TJ.

Joel Monaghan while at Wire: 145 tries in 145 games.

I think you might need to check Offiah's stats. More than a try a game across an entire career!

I think you can build a pretty good case for numerous players, I would say the OP is very much baiting by saying nobody comes close.

Try tallies are all well and good but can just highlight the strength of the team/ability to get their winger in than truely judge how good the winger is. Eden at Cas is a great example of this, we know from Solomona previously that playing left wing for Cas gets you plenty of tries so it’s more the team than the individual. Would Eden get near his numbers at other clubs?

Plus try tallies are only one aspect of playing wing, granted it’s a key one but you need to do more than just finish off tries

So not Vainakolo.

So not Monaghan either.

Not in SL or the NRL though (ie the modern game).
Undoubtedly the best winger of all time in my opinion though.

If were going to delve into history, then Brian Bevan outscores Offiah in number of tries scored and average tries per game.
However, it's difficult to compare one against the other as its apples and pears. Safe to say they were the best of their particular era.
Harder to say who the best winger currently is though.

Denny Solomona?

Yes him and Justin carney had similar records at Cas.

You win only based =#FF0000solely on the criteria of 43 games. However, that doesn't justify the title of the greatest winger of all time.

Paddy Richards?
