did Connolly ever score an international try in the end?

Think he saved them all for Wigan.

yeah 2003 i think?? the same series that moz got sent off in 12 seconds

And Seniors test career reads what exactly?

They have both been in underachieving international teams there whole careers.

In their prime I know who I would have rather had in my team.

Oh btw has Senior tried his luck in the NRL?

in all fairness to senior,connolly,cunningham and any other gb player over the past 15 years,hardly any have excelled at international level.sculthorpe and farrel,but no others have.

I imagine it reads better than 1 try in 31 games for GB.



Senior in the all conquering Wigan team would have blasted Connolly's achievements out of the water. Connolly was a very good defensive centre. Senior is an attacking weapon.



If playing in the NRL is the barometer for talent, then Edwards must have been awful.

He was for GB.

30+ caps. a 13 year international career, multiple selections in the world 13. A man of the series award against NZ in 02, and a series winners medal against NZ.

I bet he doesnt have them anymore, he prob sold them on ebay



To be serious though, as to the 3 centres carrers, In my opinion Newlove and Conolly both played against far better opposition throughout the world in there day than Senior has.

btw I'm in no way saying Senior has been a bad centre!

How do you work that out?

Edwards played in Australia. Balmain I think....

I work it out by the that they played against, were better than the Senior played against, IMO

Name them then...

He did and he was gash.

I know, but my point is that he was rubbish and played reserve grade. Think he scored 1 first grade try in his time there.

The point being - playing in Oz isn't the be all and end all and you don't have to have played there to be a top player.

Would you say the same thing about Ellery?

Why would I? Hanley was terrific for Balmain.

No, because he forced his way into the Balmain team and was in Oz for a couple of years consecutively at Balmain and Wests and won the Golden Boot in 89 (a year he played at Wests).

Edwards couldn't make a first choice half back spot his own.

Why do you make the comparison?

Senior better than Newlove - WTF?!?

Newlove was an artist. Senior - a hod carrier. As for Connolly not doing much against the Aussies - I admit he was never a great attacking threat. But the point about Connolly is very few Aussies did anything against HIM. The guy was a straightjacket to his opponent.

It isn't the be all and end all but I think the fact that whenever Edwards stepped out of his comfort zone and up to world level he was proven to be waaay out of his deapth. Criminally overrated IMO.

Hardly waaay out of his depth was he? Slight exaggeration there.

He was, he was 5hite. Worse than Long.

Your making yourself look silly

Why? Edwards is held up as some kind of all time greatest British scrum half, but when it came to having to do the business against the Aussies he was gash. Sheer gash. The only impact he ever made at test level was on Brad Clyde's face.

You could turn that round and say the same about Senior, but hang on he plays for Leeds.
